Discuss the energy requirements for the three types of membr

Discuss the energy requirements for the three types of membrane transport. Be very specific. Compare and contrast a concentration gradient with an electrochemical gradient, including, but not limited to, their usefulness in both active and passive transport. Compare and contrast the three types of gated ion channels used for facilitated diffusion, using examples. Discuss the function of the sodium/potassium ATP pump and its role in providing energy for sugar and amino acid import. Be very specific, and use a specific symporter for the indirect coupling transporter.
