                                              -molecules (in areas of low concentration) bind to carrier proteins
                          -ATP breaks down to ADP, Pi and energy
                          -the Pi and Energy cause the carrier protein to change shape

                          - carrier proteins releases molecules on opposite side (in areas of high concentration)
                          -the carrier protein releases the attached Pi to return to its original shape
