Active


Is carrier mediated passive or active?

Carrier mediated transport is not a type of a active transport......because it is a type of facilitate diffusion.


Which proteins are used in active and passive transport?

Carrier 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.


There are two main ways in which molecules are transported into and out of cells - active transport and passive transport. Which of the following statements is true of passive transport?

Carrier proteins are sometimes used during passive transport.


Is a carrier protein an active transport or a passive transport?

They are used in both, in passive the molecules move in , then change the shape then leave and the entering and leaving are both by diffusion. in active transport molecules move in by diffusion, change the shape of the carrier protein, then because theyre moving into the cell where the molecule is in higher concentration energy is required to push the molecules out of the carrier proteins, this energy comes from ATP which is supplied to the carrier proteins.


Which type of transport requires assistance from membrane proteins?

What are passive and active transport?

Passive transport and active transport are transport of materials across membranes. Passive requires no energy, while active does.


Is transport proteins a passive transport?

Carrier proteins can be involved in passive transport.


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.


What is differs between active transport and passive transport?

Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.
