Transport protein provide channels for certain solutes
Transport proteins are embedded in cellular membranes. They permit the passage across the membrane of substances that cannot pass through the phospholipid bilayer.
Substances may pass through transport proteins by diffusion (often called facilitated diffusion because these substances cannot pass through any other part of the membrane) or by active transport.
Transport proteins are subdivided into categories, such as channel proteins and carrier proteins, depending on details of their functioning.

What does not function as a transport protein?
DNA does not function as a transport protein. It serves as the genetic material that carries and transfers information essential for the development, growth, and reproduction of all organisms. However, it does not have a role in the active transport of molecules across cell membranes.
How does protein confirmation affect its function?
The shape, conformation, affect its function by determining what the shape is some proteins are long and fibrous : those form hair and form blood clots ... Some are globular and can function as enzymes which transport oxygen. The shape of a protein affects the function !
What substances need a protein?
Protein is a polymer of amino acid. They are connected by peptide bonds.Proteins are needed for cellular function such as catalysis, transport, secretion, synthesis and so on.
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 function does ATP serve in mitosis?
Sorry my answer is not too accurate... don't have my bio textbook on me. From memory, ATP phosphorylates the protein that causes active transport. It would give the energy needed for a protein to actively transport the molecule or atom of choice through the pore. Now active transport mitosis? I've never heard of that before. Are you saying that ATP activates a protein (which transfers thing) during mitosis?

Endoplasmic reticulum description?
NUCLEUS FUNCTION-Protein translocation, folding and transport or protein.
What is the function of a Rough Endoplasmic Reticuloum?
they help transport protein through other cells
Why do cell need to use transport protein to function?
What part of the membrane helps chemical reac
Why do cells need to use to use transport protein to function?
Some molecules are too large to pass through the cell membrane without transport proteins.

What are the role of transport?
is a protein which serves the function of moving other materials within an organism. Transport proteins are vital to the growth and life of all living things. There are several different kinds of transport proteins.
Did NaCl require a transport protein?
Did NaCl require a transport protein for diffusion?
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.
Differences between primary and secondary active transport?
In primary active transport, the transport protein gets phosphorylated; in secondary active transport, the transport protein is not phosphorylated
What is the function of vesicles in the synthesis of proteins and the release of those proteins outside the cell?
A vesicle is a small membrane-enclosed sac that can store or transport substances. So basically they help transport the protein.
