How does as large particle leave a cell using active transport?

It requires energy, and a carrier protein. The large particle binds to the carrier protein on the inside of the cell. The protein then changes conformation, thus moving the particle to the outside, where it is dropped off by another conformational change in the protein.


Primary active transport involves a conformational change in the carrier protein The most immediate stimulus for this is?

phosphorylation (binding of the carrier protein to a phosphate group) within the cell
