Answer is: coupled transport differs from primary active transport due to the fact that it uses electrochemical potential difference as a direct source of energy.
Primary active transport directly uses metabolic energy (adenosine triphosphate- ATP) to transport molecules across a membrane.
In secondary active transport (coupled transport) there is no direct coupling of ATP, <span>energy derived from the pumping of protons across a cell membrane.</span>
1. Action potential reaches the axon terminal and depolarizes it.
2. Depolarization opens voltage-gated calcium channels, enabling influx of Ca into the neuron.
3. Calcium binds to specialized proteins on vesicles (containing pre-made acetylcholine) and triggers them to fuse with the neuron membrane at the synapse.
4. Exocytosis of acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft occurs.
5. Acetylcholine diffuses across the synapse and binds to nicotinic receptors on the end plate of the myocyte.
6. Activated nicotinic receptors, themselves ion channels, cause cation influx into the myocyte and generate an end plate potential. This eventually gives rise to the full depolarization within the myocyte that enables contraction.

Is this a question? I don't understand
Explanation:
<span>Nerve cells send electrical impulses along the axon. When these impulses reach the end of the neuron, they cause a release of neurotransmitters across the synapse.
</span>The axon is part of the neuron (nerve cell that carries messages), as well as dendrite. Axons pass the nerve impulses on to other cells, while dendrite <span>receive nerve impulses from other cells. </span><span>The place where the axon of one neuron meets the </span>dendrite<span> of another is called a </span>synapse.
Warm air mass advances on a cold air mass, causing rain.
