Transport Mechanism in Micro-Organisms

Microbial Transport Mechanisms :
1. Active Transports :
The active transport mechanism name it self shows the adjective of its own means in the
Active Transport : The Microbial cell utilizes the energy in the form of (ATP) this is the key word to understand Active Transport where the energy in the form of (ATP) plays a vital role in the movements of substances simply ATP moves substance from One side of cell to other side of the microbial cell.
As we discussed above this type of transport utlizes energy which is must to move Solutes/Nutrients from #Low Concentration to #High Concentration area of a cell
e.g Group Tranportation or Translocation from outside of the cells plasma membrane to inside of the Cell where plasma membrane play the role of giving Permeablity/ Permission to nutrients.

Active transport of solute molecules to higher concentration or against a concentration gradients with use of metabolic energy input to the pathways in the form of (ATPs).

Its similar to the facilitated diffusion transport involvenent of protein carriers activity but differ in metabolic energy because it uses ATP energy.
While Others dont
Example of Active Transport is ATP-Binding Cassette Transport (ABC Transporters System)
this is active in #Bacteria , #Archaea & #Eukaryotes.
