1-A carrier prrotein binds to a molecule on one side of the cell membrane.
2-The carrier protein changes shape,shielding the molecule from the interior membrane.
3-The molecule is released on the other side of the membrane.
They put them on there backs and carry them across the treacherous surface of the cell membrane
Carrier proteins of the cell membrane transport substances down their concentration gradient out of or into the cell by facilitated diffusion and active transport.
There are different types of proteins embedded in the cell membrane that do this. Channel proteins act as...well channels... allowing substances to move in. Carrier protiens change shape in response to a substance and move it into the cell. Ligand-gated protiens don't allow anything in until a special signal molecule, called a ligand, binds to it signalling it to let the substances in. Also these protiens may or may not require energy to do thier job, depending on if its active or passive transport. Hope this helped.
no
Facilitated diffusion = down concentration gradient, it just uses a carrier protein (doesn't need energy)Active transport =goes UP concentration gradient with the help of a carrier protein and ENERGY
Carrier proteins facilitates the transport of specific substances through intracellular compartments or across the cell membrane. They bond and then drag the molecules across the bilipid layer, releasing them on the opposite side.
carrier protein
Carrier proteins of the cell membrane transport substances down their concentration gradient out of or into the cell by facilitated diffusion and active transport.
it is active
They help transfer substances from the outside of the cell membrane to the inside.
Facilitated diffusion
Yes, carrier proteins are specific for the substances they transport across the plasma membrane.
facilitated diffusion or active transport
They both transport substances up their concentration gradients.

no
carrier protein
The carrier protein changes shape , shielding the molecule from the interior of the membrane.
