Channel proteins take specific substances across cell membranes. Molecules passing through the membrane by channel protein is called mediated transport. To transport the substances, the channel protein must be embedded in the total cell membrane.

Protein channels are needed because ions are lipid insoluble so they cant pass through lipid so channel help to do this

The passive form of a carrier protein is called?
Protein channels.
What is the function Protein embedded in cell membrane?
There are generally channels which allow nutrients and other materials in or out of the cell. What goes in and out of the channel depends on the channel type.
When the alpha subunit of the G protein is activated it can stimulate ion channels to?
open and close channels
What are openings in the cell membrane called?
Protein channels
What is the transmembrane protein channels that are specialized for the passage of water?
The transmembrane protein channels that are specialized for the passage of water is aquaporin's. Osmosis is the diffusion of water down its concentration gradient.
What structures in the cell membrane function as ion channels?
protein channels
What are the 7 classes of protein based on function?
kinases, enzymes, peptidases, antibodies, ribosomal proteins, transcription factors, ion channels
Protein channels that are sensitive to electricity are known as WHAT channels?
Voltage Gated channels

What is the function Heat shock protein?
function Heat shock protein

Does Testosterone acts as a signal receptor that activates ion channels proteins?
If we are to based it in the function of a testosterone inside a cell, it does not act as a signal receptor. Testosterone function is to bind a receptor protein that go into the nucleus and to activate a particular gene.
Describe gating mechanism existing in channels?
G protein-gated ion channels are specific ion channels located in the plasma membrane.
What defines the movement of material along a concentration gradient through a protein channels?
Facilitated diffusion defines he movement of materials along a concentration gradient through protein channels.
