What are the membrane structures that function in active transport?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
transmembrane proteins like a proton pump that pumps hydrogen atoms to the extraacellular space creating a charge difference between the inside of the cell(negative charge) and the outside of the cell(positive charge) by the use of ATP. This charge difference is what allows cotransport through another transmembrane protein to occur.

What is one example of how a cell uses active transport?
Sugar. The membrane is impermeable to sugar molecules ... insulin's function is to activate active transport.
Which type of transport requires assistance from membrane proteins?
cellular transport nop, is passive transport
Which is a form of active transport?
active transport as it requires energy provided by ATP
What process occurs in a cell membrane?
Electron Chain
The use of energy to move substances across a cell membrane describes?
Active Transport
What are membrane structures that function in active transport?

What is the function of active transport moving small molecules and ions across cell membrane?
the movement of materials against a concentration difference is known as active transport. Active transport requires energy.
Which type of transport requires assistance from membrane proteins?
cellular transport nop, is passive transport
where does active transport takes place which part of the cell?
Active transport takes place in the small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed from the intestine and into the bloodstream. More specifically, it is the structures known as villi that contain the protein receptors necessary for active transport to take place. The process also happens in the nephrons of the kidneys, where glucose and water/ions are selectively reabsorbed back into the bloodstream.
What is it called when molecules uses energy to move across a semipermeable membrane?
Active transport
What is used to move a substance through a membrane in active transport?
Electrochemical gradient is used to move substances through a membrane in active transport.
Distinguish between active and passive transport?
Active Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane through the expenditure of energy. Passive Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane without the expenditure of energy. Bulk Transport is the type of active transport. Diffusion and Osmosis are type of passive transport.
What ways of moving molecules across a membrane requires energy?
