One example is: in nerve cells, two crucial proteins that transport ions across the cell membrane, crucial as the cell cannot transmit nerve impulses without them, are together known as the Sodium-Potassium pump.

Which type of transport could not occur if the cell was inhibited in the production of protein?
active transport
What are the functions of an integral protein found in the cell membrane?
The functions can vary greatly, the fact that its an integral protein limits the functions but there are still many different functions. Ill go through a few functions of integral transmembrane proteins. Transportation. Integral proteins can transport molecules and ions through the membrane, facilitated or active transport are two such transport functions. The protein can also act as ion channels which help the cells to keep the ion gradient at a good level (varies greatly for different ions). The protein can also act as receptors for different hormones or neural signals. The integral proteins can also be cytoskelleton, which function is to connect different cells to eachother, or they can be flagells, villi or microvilli.
Which type of transport requires assistance from membrane proteins?
cellular transport nop, is passive transport
Is facilitated diffusion type of active transport?
Facilitated diffusion is passive transport as no energy is used, and a protein channel is all that's required. After that it is simple diffusion down a concentration gradient. Anything with the word diffusion in it is passive transport. Diffusion is just the principle of passive transport.
A type of transport across a membrane up its concentration gradient using protein carriers and driven by the expenditure of chemical energy is known as what?
This is a description of active transport.
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 are 2 functions of the endoplasmic reticulum?
if it's the rough ER then it functions to transport protein but if its the smooth ER it functions as a site of lipid and steroid synthesis
Which type of transport could not occur if the cell was inhibited in the production of protein?
active transport
Which of the protein functions in animals is shared by plants?
Metabolism, Support, Transport, Defense, Regulation, Motion
What type of protein do most materials move in and out of?
Transport proteins are the type of protein most materials move in and put of.
What type of transport protein is a sodium potassium pump?
It is a carrier protein
What type of organic molecule is needed for active transport?
Carrier Protein

What are the functions of the sodium pump?
1. Regulation of cell volume. 2. Secondary Active Transport. 3. Sodium glucose Transport protein. 4. Heat Production.
Which type of transport requires assistance from membrane proteins?
cellular transport nop, is passive transport
What are the cell functions?
The cell serves as the smallest functional unit of an organism. Some of its functions include: protein and lipid synthesis, transport and storage and the production of energy through cellular respiration.
