What are two types of active transport within a cell?

Question

i know there are active and passive. im asking for the 2 different types of ACtive transport

Answer 1

Active and passive. Active requires the expenditure of energy--such as ATP-coupled transport; while passive does not (and relies solely on concentration gradients/osmotic differences, etc.).

Answer 2

Probably primary and secondary.

With primary (direct) active transport, the transport of the compound or ion across the membrane directly burns energy. Molecule/ion X crosses the membrane against its concentration gradient, and ATP is used up in the process.

With secondary (indirect) active transport, the transport occurs "passively", but it is powered by an ion gradient created by spending energy on primary active transport.

Answer 3

Single molecule protein pumps transport goes across the cell membrane for slow controlled movements.
For bulk movement there is phagocytosis or pinocytosis. Here the membrane forms vescicles to move material.
Perhaps that is the mechanism you are asking about.http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/biology/bio4fv/page/endocytb.htm
