Starch is a polysaccharide composed of branching chains of glucose molecules. There is no receptor for starch. There are however, receptors for glucose called GLUT1, GLUT2 and GLUT3

What is the movement of molecules through a cell membrane requiring energy?

active transport


What assists the movement of polar molecules across the membrane A. Passive Transport B. Active Transport?

Polar molecules must pass through the membrane via active transport. This is because the cellular membrane is mostly nonpolar, and polar and nonpolar molecules repel each other. Only nonpolar molecule (i.e. hormones) can pass through the membrane without active transportation.

Can polar molecules cross the cell membrane?

Yes, polar molecules can cross the cell membrane through facilitated diffusion or active transport.


What ways molecules cross the membrane with energy?

Molecules can cross the membrane with energy through active transport, which uses energy (often from ATP) to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Another way is through facilitated diffusion, where molecules move with the help of specific protein channels or carriers that provide energy for their transport.


What is the difference between active and facilitated transport in cellular processes?

Active transport requires energy to move molecules across the cell membrane, while facilitated transport uses carrier proteins to help molecules pass through the membrane without energy.


What type of molecule embedded in the cell membrance allows larger molecule to pass through the membrance by active transport?

Transport proteins allow the active transport of large molecules through the cellular membrane.


What are three ways molecules can cross the cell membrane?

Molecules can cross the cell membrane through simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion via transporter proteins, and active transport using energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.


How do you large molecules and ions pass through the cell membrane?

Recently had a homework on the cell membrane, i do know that larger molecules that cant fit through the polar heads into the cell (like gases can...and small molecules?!) can get through only if they qualify the shape fitting of the channel protein- the one that reaches all the way from the outside to the inside of the membrane. hope this helps


What ways of moving molecules across a membrane requires energy?

Active transport requires energy to move molecules across a membrane against their concentration gradient. This process is facilitated by specific carrier proteins embedded in the membrane that use energy, usually in the form of ATP, to transport molecules.
