The reason for my nostalgia is that I can remember the term \u201cactive transport\u201d from when I used to do Biology both at school and at Uni (as a minor part of my Chemistry degree). It always frustrated me because it explained nothing \u2013 and I can\u2019t recall anyone ever saying \u201cno one knows\u201d when I asked questions. Even the current Wikipedia entry is vague.
