What carrier molecules are involved in the process of what type of diffusion?
Carrier molecules are not involved.Different between chemical potential leads the diffusion
What molecules function as carrier in human blood circulation system?
Hemoglobin molecules function as the carrier in the human blood circulation system.
Glucose and no other sugar is transported into cells by protein carrier molecules in the cell surface membrane. How do carrier molecules specifically recognize glucose?
Carrier molecules have specific binding sites that are complementary to the structure of glucose molecules. This allows the carrier molecules to selectively recognize and transport glucose across the cell membrane while excluding other sugars. The specificity of recognition is determined by the shape, size, and chemical properties of both the carrier molecule and the glucose molecule.
What are proteins found in cell membranes that transport large molecules?
carrier molecules
Carrier molecules in the plasma membrane are only required for active transport?
Carrier molecules in the plasma membrane are actually used for both active and passive transport of molecules. In active transport, carrier proteins use energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while in passive transport, carrier proteins facilitate the movement of molecules down their concentration gradient without the need for energy input.
What process involves the use of specific carrier molecules?
Active transport is the process that involves the use of specific carrier molecules to move substances across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient. These carrier molecules enable the movement of molecules or ions into or out of the cell by binding to the specific substance and undergoing a conformational change.
What is a carrier protein?
A carrier protein is a type of protein that helps transport specific molecules across cell membranes. These proteins bind to molecules on one side of the membrane and release them on the other side, facilitating their movement into or out of cells. Carrier proteins play a crucial role in maintaining cellular function by regulating the transport of essential molecules.
What are the electron carrier molecules of kerbs cyle and kalvin cycle?
The electron carrier molecules of the Krebs cycle are NADH and FADH2. In the Calvin cycle, the electron carrier molecule is NADPH.
What does a carrier protein do in the process of transporting molecules across a cell membrane?
A carrier protein helps transport molecules across a cell membrane by binding to specific molecules and changing shape to move them across the membrane.
Is there another name for carrier proteins?
Yes, carrier proteins are also known as carrier molecules or transport proteins. They facilitate the movement of molecules across cell membranes by binding to specific substances and transporting them across the cell.
A type of diffusion that uses carrier molecules but no energy?
diffusion
What are two carrier molecules involvede with photosynthesis?
NADP and NADPH
