The sodium cotransport,which carries both sodium ions and glucose molecules,is an active transport mechanism.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sodium cotransport, also known as sodium-glucose cotransport, is a form of secondary active transport. It uses the electrochemical gradient of sodium ions, created by primary active transport (such as the sodium-potassium pump), to transport glucose molecules into cells without directly using ATP for the glucose transport.
