This type of transport is an example of secondary active transport

Secondary active transport is a form of active transport in which there is movement of an ion with another molecule across a transport membrane. This form of transport use the energy stored in the electrochemical gradient of an ion to drive the movement of another solute such as sucrose against a concentration.
