Which protein is responsible for transport of glucose across cell membrane?
A family of proteins called GLUT carry glucose molecules across the cell membrane.
How simple diffusion can be distinguished from facilitated diffusion?
simple diffusion transports smaller molecules like oxygen and water while facilitated diffusion transports larger molecules like glucose and requires energy
When does diffusion occur across a cell membrane?
Diffusion across a cell membrane occurs when concentrations of a substance are higher either inside or outside the cell.
What motion of particles across a membrane requires energy?
Movement across a membrane that does require energy is called active transport.
What is facilitated diffusion across the phospholipid membrane?
Facilitated diffusion is the movement a substance from high concentration to low concentration across a membrane through a transporter protein or channel
What helps the diffusion of glucose across a membrane?
zytosis denititile

What process is used to move sugar molecules across a cell membrane?
I do believe that the answer is facilated diffusion.
What moves products through a cell membrane?
Diffusion, facilitated diffusion, Osmosis and Active Transport. Diffusion moves non-polar molecules across the cell membrane down a concentration gradient. Osmosis moves water across the cell membrane through a channel formed by aquaporins called a protein channel, down the water potential gradient. Active moves the non-polar molecules against the concentration gradient, in contrast to diffusion. Lastly, facilitated diffusion moves polar molecules across the cell membrane through creating protein channels in the cell membrane from specific proteins. ETC, glucose transporters bind to form a protein channel for glucose to diffuse through, after which the proteins disperse. That should be all, hope it was of help!
The cell uses energy to transport glucose through the cell membrane?
Glucose moves across the cell membrane through facilitated diffusion. This type of transport uses protein carriers to assist glucose molecules across the cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
When does diffusion occur across a cell membrane?
Diffusion across a cell membrane occurs when concentrations of a substance are higher either inside or outside the cell.
What motion of particles across a membrane requires energy?
Movement across a membrane that does require energy is called active transport.
Why cant glucose be able to move across a cell membrane by simple diffusion?
the lipid bilayer forms a barrier to water soluble substances such as glucose
What is the process that utilizes a carrier to move materials across the plasma membrane in the direction of the concentration gradient that does not use ATP?
Active Transport
What is the process that utilizes a carrier to move marerials across the plasma membrane in the direction of the concentration?
Diffusion is what carries materials across the plasma membrane. The diffusion cannot be moved across water.
What drives diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of ions and other micro molecules across a barrier or membrane. Diffusion is caused by gradients on either side of the membrane.
