What type of membrane protein responsible for rejection in tissue transplants?
what type of membrane protein is responsible for rejection in tissue transplant
What happens if a molecule is too large to go through a membrane?
The molecule will be transported across the membrane by way of a transport protein or protein channel.
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 type of transport does a small molecule enter a cell with help from a membrane protein additional energy is needed to complete this process?
Facilitated
A specific protein that recognizes certain molecules bringing them across the membrane?
Receptor Protein.
What is a molecule used by glucose as a piggyback into and out of the cell in the process of active transport?
The glucose transporter is a membrane bound protein that binds to glucose and mediates it's transport into or out of the cell.
How does the gloucose get into the cells?
There are glucose transport proteins. Since there are fewer glucose particles in the cell (when compared to the fluid outside of cells), it is passive transport, which occurs naturally. The transport protein is necessary for the glucose to pass through the cell membrane.
What membrane components is involved in glucose transport?

What are the protein molecules in a cell membrane that assist in cell transport?
Protein molecules are responsible for membrane transport. In passive transport diffusion is the phenomenon in which molecules flow naturally from areas of high concentration to lower concentrations.
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.
What form of transport is used by the cell membrane to speed up the intake of glucose?
active uptake, which requires energy and protein carriers in membranes
What type of membrane protein responsible for rejection in tissue transplants?

Do membrane pumps transport protein?
yes they can
What is selective transport?
The transport of substances through membrane protein channels
How does a protein transport substances across a cell membrane?
carrier protein
What are the types of membrane transport across the cell membrane require a protein carrier?
The brain
What is the role of protein channels in the membrane?
it transport baceria to the water
