Active transport is that in which energy (ATP) is used, without ATP it cannot occur and normally requires the intervention of transport proteins.

Active transport requires ATP because the transport of molecules usually occurs against a concentration gradient, i.e., the solutes go from the medium with a lower concentration to the medium with a higher concentration.
