Best Answer

Active transport requires the use of ATP because in active transport things move against the concentration gradient. Usually there is a protien pump (which is a form of a transport protien) that does this.

Does active transport require a membrane?

Active transport does require a carrier protein. Each protein is specific to one particular molecule.


What process changes the shape of transport proteins when a particle binds with it?

Carrier Proteins. Some don't require ATP (Facillitated transport) and some do require ATP (Active transport) to change shape.

Differences between primary and secondary active transport?

In primary active transport, the transport protein gets phosphorylated; in secondary active transport, the transport protein is not phosphorylated


Is a protein channel active transport?

They are two major active transport proteins.


Is carrier proteins passive transport or active transport?

Carrier proteins can use active or passive transport depending on what type of carrier protein it is (meaning what the protein transports). The form of passive transport that they use is facilitated diffusion. An example of active transport is the Sodium Potassium pump. Active transport requires ATP. Facilitated diffusion is used to transport polar molecules and ions that cannot directly cross the cell membrane. Facilitated diffusion doesn't require energy.


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.


What types of transport require ATP?

The two types of cell trnsport it Passive Transport and Active Transport. Active Transport does require energy to move into and out of the cell. Passive Transport doesn't require energy to move into and out of the cell. Hope I helped!


What is a transport protein?

It's either a passive or active transport.


What kind of transport require energy?

Active Transport


3 examples of active transport?

Primary Active Transport Secondary Active Transport Exocytosis/Endocytosis


What does active transport require that passive transport doesn't?

Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient. That means than it takes energy to drive protein pumps to move something across the cell membrane from a low concentration to a higher one.
