What are membrane channels and pumps made of?
Protiens
What is the cell membranes channels and pumps made of?
Proteins.
What are the channels and pumps of the cell membrane made up of?
They are proteinacious .
Cell membranes are made of all macromolecules except?
Of the major biomolecules, lipids, carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids, only nucleic acids are not present in cell membranes. Lipids make up the bilayer; proteins craete pumps and channels; carbohydrates are part of glycoproteins but no RNA or DNA is present.
What is the difference in the function of the proteins and the carbohydrates attached attached to a cell membrane?
proteins form channels and pumps that help to move material across the cell membrane. carbohydrates act like chemical identification cards, allowing individual cells to identify one another.
The cell membrane contains channels and pumps that help move materials from one side to another What are these channels and pumps made of?
There are many different protein channels that only allow one substance to go in or out of the cell. For example, there is a specific channel for gluclose,and no other substane can go through that channel
Are ion channels carbohydrates?
Ion channels are not carbohydrates but are pore-forming membrane proteins. One of their functions is to include establishing a resting membrane potential.
What part of a neuron contains calcium pumps and channels?
AXON
How do you transport proteins that are pumps differ from those that are channels?
n
How do transport proteins that are pumps differ from that are channels?
Transport proteins that are pumps differ from those that are channels in that when it pumps, it moves materials against concentration gradient. Other wise, from low to high concentration levels. Channels move materials down a concentration gradient, requiring no energy expenditure by the cell. From high concentration to low concentration levels.

What are the forces that create water currents?
Gravity, tides (essentially gravity also). Man made forces could include pumps and directing gravity as in irrigation channels.
