Active Solute Transport: Function, Role & Diseases

Active solute transport is a form of transport of substrates across a biomembrane. Active transport occurs against a concentration or charge gradient and occurs under energy consumption. In mitochondriopathies, this process is impaired. What is active solute transport? Active solute transport is a mode of transport of substrates across a biomembrane. In the human body, … Active Solute Transport: Function, Role & Diseases
