What type of transport place when a protein allows an ion to enter a cell but no additional energy is needed?
facilitated
Do erythrocytes lack a nucleus?
Erythrocytes, or red blood cells (RBCs), are specialized cells used to carry oxygen to the body's cells and transport carbon dioxide away from those cells. It contains a protein called hemoglobin, which allows the cell to carry high concentrations of oxygen. RBCs do not contain a nucleus because they do not have need of one. Also, in order for the cells to be able to fit through the smallest capillaries in the body, the cells have to be kept as small as possible. A nucleus would counteract this goal and could cause sludging of the cells in the small vessels and capillaries.
What transport protein allows ions to pass through the cell membrane?
Ion Channels allows ions to pass through the cell membrane.
What is the protein that allows facilitated diffusion of water?
In the facilitated diffusion the transport protein is needed as well in the active transport.
A respiratory structure that allows speech?
the larynx
Does active transport involve phosphoralization?
Yes primary active transport machinery (protein pumps) relies on phosphorylation of the carrier protein. ATP hydrolysis yields the phosphate molecule to interact with the protein pump. This cause the conformational change in the ion channel protein to carry out exchange of ions. For example: sodium-potassium pump: binding of phosphate release sodium from cell, whereas dephosphorylation allows the entry of potassium ions inside the cell.
Why is it important that proteins keep their shape?
The shape of a protein allows it to perform its particular job.
What protein that allows ions to actively transport across?
The transport protein allows substances to travel across the cell membrane. The substance is traveling from low concentration to a higher concentration. The process requires energy and is called active transport. The protein is simply called a transport protein.
Why is it important that a protein keep in shape?
because the shape of a protein allows it to perform its particular job
Why is it important that a protein keep that?
The shape of a protein allows it to perform its particular job
Why do you have the respiratory system?
The respiratory system is the system for breathing. The system allows for oxygen to enter the body and carbon dioxide to exit.
What is aqua-protein?
an aqua protein is a channel protein which allows water to pass through a membrane during osmosis
