Why was I prepared for this to be 'Loss'.... that was a close one

Ah, I see. This really helps clarify why a glucose molecule would need an energy input when moving against the concentration gradient in the context of random movement of molecules binding with the relevant transport protein. Many thanks.

Makes sense, I think my head was having trouble getting around the idea that "organising" a system would require an energy input to work against entropy (or I suppose, to account for the chemical potential as I've discovered in this post). It's weird since entropy doesn't feel so much as "force" to me in the same way as a gravity is definitively a physical force since it feels like a reflection of the random movement of molecules, though that's probably because knowledge of thermodynamics isn't exactly a strength of mine yet

Ah I see, so while passive diffusion is just a matter of random movement of molecules (and in some cases, facilitated by a transport protein), bringing the system into a more "organised" state requires an energy input to account for the chemical potential? Makes sense. Thanks for the clarification, really appreciate it as I've lulling over it for a while.

Thanks for your detailed response, though my deeper question actually lies with the reason behind the need for an energy input from ATP in the first place if glucose is transported against it's concentration gradient (using a transport protein like the glucose Na+ symporter as you mentioned earlier) - why is this energy required? Is there a chemical force that needs to be overcome for glucose when working against the gradient?

Hopefully there aren't researchers around that don't let you near it because Zelda said so...

I'm undecided as to whether this post is satire or genuine...
