Here you'll learn all about me: my interests and hobbies, , my subject genetics. I've even included a list of my favorite links to other sites.

In the following pages , I'll introduce myself and talk about my reasons for wanting a web site. This is my intial effort to start for a cause in field of biosciences, would lik it to make better with each and every step with your valuable suggestions ......

Introduction to a term :

ACTIVE TRANSPORT - Active transport is the pumping of molecules or ions through a membrane against their concentration gradient.It requires:

a transmembrane protein (usually a complex of them) called a transporter and
energy. The source of this energy is ATP.

The energy of ATP may be used directly or indirectly.

Direct Active Transport: Some transporters bind ATP directly and use the energy of its hydrolysis to drive active transport.
Indirect Active Transport:Other transporters use the energy already stored in the gradient of a directly-pumped ion. Direct active transport of the ion establishes a concentration gradient. When this is relieved by facilitated diffusion, the energy released can be harnessed to the pumping of some other ion or molecule.

Please get in touch with any comments or suggestions to my site.
