How do carrier proteins help substances enter the cell?

1) Carrier protein ONLY transport the non-polar substance such as glucose,except water,because water particles could slide through phospholipid bilayer across plasma membrane from the area of high concentration to the area of lower concentration. 2) Substance which pass through phospholipid bilayer bind at specific sites. 3) Carrier protein will change its shape appropriately to the shape of the substance passing through plasma membrane.


What substances would most likely require a protein to facilitate its diffusion across a cell membrane?

Quick answer: glucose Explanation: Any substance that the membrane selects against requires integral proteins to cross the membrane. B/c the lipid bilayer is selectively permeable, not all substances can pass through it by diffusion or osmosis. However, when the cell requires a substance that it's membrane does not easily allow to pass through, it must enter via the proteins in the membrane. They can either be carrier proteins or protein channels depending on the substance. One example of a substance which requires facilitated diffusion is glucose.


How does the interaction between a carrier protein and the substance it transports resemble the interaction between an enzyme and its substrate?

When a carrier protein binds with a substance it changes it shape during the transport. When an enzyme is present with a substrate the enzyme then like a carrier protein will change its shape.

What property of the cell membrane enables it to perform active transport?

Embedded in the semi-permeable cell membrane are many different types of carrier proteins or channel proteins. These globular proteins allow the transport of specific substances from the outside of the cell into the cell or vice versa.Specific means each protein can only transport one type of substance across. For example, Protein A can transport Substance X but not Substance Y. Substance Y has to be transported by Protein B which cannot transport Substance X. The specific nature of these globular proteins mean it is easier for these molecules to be transported.


What is a membrane protein that allows specific charged molecules to pass through from one side of the membrane to another?

A membrane protein that permits the passage of specific substances is selectively permeable. They allow the solvent as specific solutes to pass through.

What happens during the process of faciltated diffusion?

What happens during the process of faciliated diffusion?

Facilitated diffusion is a passive transport process where specific proteins in the cell membrane help larger or charged molecules pass through. These proteins act as channels or carriers, allowing molecules to move down their concentration gradient without requiring energy input from the cell. This process is important for the movement of substances like glucose and ions across the cell membrane.
