Is glucose molecule passive or active transport?

Secondary active transport aka facilitated diffusion [depending on your teacher].


Does facilitated transport have a sodium potassium pump?

The sodium potassium pump requires ATP - i.e. it is involved in active transport, not facilitated transport.


Does active transport require a transport protein?

Active transport requires the use of ATP because in active transport things move against the concentration gradient. Usually there is a protien pump (which is a form of a transport protien) that does this.

Through what type of proteins does active transport occur?

A carrier protein (as opposed to a channel protein). An example of a carrier protein is the Na+/K+ pump.


What is the role of transport proteins in active transport?

Active transport requires energy, unlike passive transport. The carrier proteins in active transport act as a "pump" ( fueled by ATP) to carry/attach themselfves to useful proteins for the cell.
