Ion channel gates close the pore of some ions channels in response to what?
Streching of the cell membrane, a change in electrical charge, and the binding of specific molecules to the channel.
What is meant by passive transport of material across a membrane?
"Passive" mean that it does not require energy, therefore the passive transport of material across the membrane means that it can transport the material (cells or whatever) without the function of energy across the membrane.
Do neurotransmitters use passive or active transport?
In general, they use neither. The terms active and passive transport refer to movement ACROSS cell membranes--from one side to the other. Neurotransmitters are packaged inside membrane and they leave the neuron through exocytosis. They re-enter the neuron through receptor-mediated endocytosis. That means they never really pass THROUGH the membrane.
Is Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis Passive or Active Transport?
It is niether. Its is passive actually. http://www.mansfield.ohio-state.edu/~sabedon/campbl08.htm #38. under Endocytosis, which is active passport, includes the example of Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis.
What are the functions of cholesterol molecules in the lipid bilayer?
To transport particles in and out of the membrane. It does this by active transport, passive transport (channels, diffusion, osmosis, etc.), and exp/endocytosis.
What passive channels are likely found in the pacinian membrane?
The efflux of potassium ions is maintained by passive potassium channels.
What are the different kind of cell transfort?
Active transport Passive transport (diffusion and transport using protein channels) Receptor mediated transport
What the role of protein channels in the cell membrane?
Protein channels are important to facilitate the transport of ions and other larger molecules across the plasma membrane. Large molecules cannot just diffuse thorough the membrane. In addition, polar molecules cannot diffuse through the membrane since it would be energetically unfavorable for them to negotiate the hydrophobic interior of the plasma membrane. Therefore, protein channels are essential in membrane transport.
What passive channels are likely found in the Pacinian corpuscle?
The efflux of potassium ions is maintained by passive potassium channels.
Is facilitated diffusion ion channels an active or passive transport?
passive
What are the different ways in transporting materials across the membrane?
through several ion channels,communication junctions(eg;gap junction)active transport,passive transport etc
What requires no energy to move molecules across a membrane?
Any form of passive transport such as diffusion. This is because channels allow a high concentration gradient move to a lower one.
Ion channel gates close the pore of some ions channels in response to what?
Streching of the cell membrane, a change in electrical charge, and the binding of specific molecules to the channel.

The movement of materials through a cell membrane without using the cells energy?
It's called passive transport for a cell's membrane. (I checked with my science teacher)

The passive form of a carrier protein is called?
Protein channels.
