Active transport, requires ATP to fuel it as it goes against the gradient present in cells. Substances can drift along a gradient into and out of cells, but must be pushed against a gradient.

What proteins are used in active and passive transport?
cell membrane
What embedded in the cell membrane can help with active transport?
I think it's Proteins
Does active transport get substances across a cell membrane?
Transport proteins
What are membrane structures that function in active transport?
integral proteins
Describe a form of active transport similar to the work of carrier proteins?
Molecules are moved through the cell membrane by active transport.
What proteins are used in active and passive transport?
cell membrane
Which type of transport requires assistance from membrane proteins?
cellular transport nop, is passive transport
What embedded in the cell membrane can help with active transport?
I think it's Proteins
Does active transport get substances across a cell membrane?
Transport proteins
Which is a form of active transport?
active transport as it requires energy provided by ATP
What proteins are used in both active and passive transport?
cell membrane
What are membrane structures that function in active transport?
integral proteins
What functions do carrier proteins perform in active transport?
Carrier proteins of the cell membrane transport substances down their concentration gradient out of or into the cell by facilitated diffusion and active transport.
What is the definition of active transport?
active transport is an energy reqiuring process in which transport proteins bind with particles and move them through a cell membrane
Describe a form of active transport similar to the work of carrier proteins?
Molecules are moved through the cell membrane by active transport.
Sodium ions cross a membrane that transport proteins that receive an energy boost this is a case of?
Active Transport :)
What are the four types of proteins found in the cell membrane?
Actually, bilipid "heads" form the layers of the membrane, but there are carrier proteins that transport objects into and out of the cells. These carrier proteins use either active or passive transport to get objects across the membrane. Active transport uses energy, while passive transport doesn't need to use energy to get items across. Hope this helps!!!
