Is transport proteins active transport or passive transport?

passive


Are enzymes passive transport proteins?

No, enzymes are catalyst proteins.


Passive transport with the aid of transport proteins is what?

facilitated diffusion


What proteins are used in both active and passive transport?

Transport proteins such as ion channels and carrier proteins are used in both active and passive transport processes. Ion channels move ions down their concentration gradient through passive transport, while carrier proteins can facilitate passive transport by allowing molecules to move along their concentration gradient, or active transport by requiring energy to transport molecules against their concentration gradient.


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.


What proteins are used in active and passive transport?

cell membrane


What are examples of passive transport and active transport?

Proteins that carry out passive transport include channel proteins and carrier proteins. Passive transport is "passive" because it does not use energy. The use of passive transport is also called "facilitated diffusion." Proteins that carry out passive transport includes the proton pump and the sodium-potassium pump; these require energy to function.


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.


Carrier proteins are sometimes used during passive transport.?

yes


Which type of passive transport involes the movement of molcoules via special transport proteins?

facilitated diffusion


What facilities passive transport across a cell membrane?

Passive transport across a cell membrane is facilitated by proteins such as channel proteins and carrier proteins. These proteins allow the movement of ions and small molecules down their concentration gradient without requiring energy input from the cell. Lipid bilayer also plays a role in facilitating passive transport for small, non-polar molecules.


How do carriers proteins facilitate passive transport of molecules across a membrane?

Carrier proteins facilitate passive transport of molecules across a membrane by changing its shape, by using ATP, to allow a substance to pass through the membrane.
