What are cell-membrane proteins?

Membrane proteins are important to carry out the process of selective transport across cells. Na/K channel proteins, ABC transsporters, ATP synthase, ETC chain proteins are some good examples. They mostly cost energy to transport a molecule (active transport) and other protein actually synthesize ATP (ATP synthase)


What are a series of carrier proteins?

Active transport involves carrier proteins. Carrier proteins bind themselves to particles and transport them to highly concentrated areas within a cell.Facilitated diffusion and active transport require carrier proteins.

What is the role of transport proteins in active transport?

Active transport requires energy, unlike passive transport. The carrier proteins in active transport act as a "pump" ( fueled by ATP) to carry/attach themselfves to useful proteins for the cell.
