read about the concept
In cell biology (a subfield of Biology, which is part of Natural Science), the movement of substances across a membrane that requires energy (like ATP) is known as active transport. Passive transport does not require energy, while active transport uses energy (often from ATP hydrolysis) to move substances against their concentration gradient or in a way that needs energy input. So the term for transport powered by ATP across a membrane is active transport.
