Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Primary active transport directly uses a source of chemical energy (e.g., ATP) to move molecules across a membrane against their gradient.
Detailed explanation-2: -ATP plays a critical role in the transport of macromolecules such as proteins and lipids into and out of the cell. The hydrolysis of ATP provides the required energy for active transport mechanisms to carry such molecules across a concentration gradient.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because of this, cellular energy (e.g. ATP) is used in active transport in contrast to passive transport which utilizes kinetic and natural energy.
