Do passive transport mechanisms use integral proteins to move substances through membranes?

Yes they may. Passive or Active can both use integral proteins to facilitate transport. When the substances are transported from low to high concentration it requires additional energy (i.e. active transport); while passive transport move molecules from high concentration to low and do not need additional energy (passive transport). Integral proteins are membrane proteins that have transmembrane domain, but whether it will need energy (ATP, photons or conc. gradient) to change from inactive form to active form depends on the substance that it is transporting.

What membrane components allow movement of non-polar substances across membrane?
Integral proteins allow movement of non-polar substances across membranes.
2 integral membrane proteins such as transport proteins are permanently attached to cellular membranes after integral membrane proteins are synthesized which organelle would aid in transporting?
Proteins are often synthesized by ribosomes on the rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.
What membrane proteins are integral proteins?
Membranes bound within the cell membrane. Integral proteins extend from one side of the membrane to the other.
What are membrane structures that function in active transport?
integral proteins
Are carrier proteins peripheral membrane proteins?
The cell membranes that can act as channels are called integral proteins. Peripheral proteins are the ones that are attached to just one side of the cell membrane.
What membrane components allow movement of non-polar substances across membrane?
Integral proteins allow movement of non-polar substances across membranes.
Lipoproteins are important for?
Lipoproteins are used to transport lipids in the body. They are also integral parts of cell membranes and transporter molecules.
How do transport proteins move substances across membranes?
Facilitated diffusion (also known as facilitated transport or passive-mediated transport) is a process of passive transport, facilitated by integral proteins. Facilitated diffusion is the spontaneous passage of molecules or ions across a biological membrane passing through specific transmembrane integral proteins. The facilitated diffusion may occur either across biological membranes or through aqueous compartments of an organism.*This is from Wikipedia.....

The main building material of plasma membranes are?
Phospholipids and integral proteins.

Does the presence of integral proteins allows membranes to be selectively permeable to certain molecules?
yes

What extent is tourist transport considered an area of study in transport and tourism studies?
Tourist transport is an integral part of any good study entitled transport and tourism studies. This is because without good transport then tourists are unlikely to be coming.
