High-Yield Explanation
Ref. Guyton. 13th edition. Page. 840 Primary and secondary transport In primary active transport, ATP is consumed directly by the transporting protein, (e.g., the Na/K-ATPase pump, or the calcium-dependent ATPase of the sarcoplasmic reticulum). 
 Secondary active transport depends indirectly on ATP as a source of energy, as in the co-transport of Na-glucose in the proximal tubule. This process depends on ATP utilized by the Na/K-ATPase pump. 
 Glucose moves up a concentration gradient via secondary active transport.
