Best Answer

they work as a catalysator for the transportation. They lower the nessesary energy for a transport to start. This can in many cases only be achieved by highly specifically adapted carriers, which in cells is mostly proteins.

What is the role of transport proteins in active transport?

Active transport requires energy, unlike passive transport. The carrier proteins in active transport act as a "pump" ( fueled by ATP) to carry/attach themselfves to useful proteins for the cell.


In active transport carrier proteins?

sodium-potassium pump.


Through what type of proteins does active transport occur?

A carrier protein (as opposed to a channel protein). An example of a carrier protein is the Na+/K+ pump.
