When a substance moves from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration, it is moving against its concentration gradient. This process typically requires energy, as it is not a passive movement. Such transport mechanisms include active transport, where cellular energy (like ATP) is used to facilitate the movement. In contrast, substances usually move from high to low concentration naturally, which is known as moving down the concentration gradient.
