Active transport requires the use of ATP because in active transport things move against the concentration gradient. Usually there is a protien pump (which is a form of a transport protien) that does this.

What types of transport require ATP?

The two types of cell trnsport it Passive Transport and Active Transport. Active Transport does require energy to move into and out of the cell. Passive Transport doesn't require energy to move into and out of the cell. Hope I helped!


What process changes the shape of transport proteins when a particle binds with it?

The process that changes the shape of transport proteins when a particle binds to it is called conformational change. This change in shape allows the protein to either open a channel for the particle to pass through or undergo a rotational movement to transfer the particle across the membrane.


Is carrier proteins passive transport or active transport?

Carrier proteins can use active or passive transport depending on what type of carrier protein it is (meaning what the protein transports). The form of passive transport that they use is facilitated diffusion. An example of active transport is the Sodium Potassium pump. Active transport requires ATP. Facilitated diffusion is used to transport polar molecules and ions that cannot directly cross the cell membrane. Facilitated diffusion doesn't require energy.


What are the two general types of transport used by cells to transport materials in and out of the cell?

The two general types of transport used by cells are passive transport, which does not require energy and includes processes like diffusion and osmosis, and active transport, which requires energy and involves processes like protein pumps and vesicle transport.


Does active transport require a hydrostatic pressure gradient between intracelluar and extracellular regions?

Active transport does not require a hydrostatic pressure gradient specifically, as it utilizes energy from ATP to move molecules against their concentration gradient. However, the presence of gradients (such as concentration or electrical) can affect the efficiency of active transport processes.

Does active transport require a membrane?

Yes, active transport requires a membrane because it involves the movement of molecules or ions against their concentration gradient, which requires energy expenditure. This process is facilitated by specific transport proteins embedded within the membrane.


Is a protein channel active transport?

They are two major active transport proteins.


what two methods of transport require a transport protein?

Two methods of transport that require a transport protein are facilitated diffusion and active transport. Facilitated diffusion involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane through specific transport proteins, down their concentration gradient without the use of energy. Active transport, on the other hand, uses transport proteins to move substances against their concentration gradient, requiring energy in the form of ATP.


What is a transport protein?

It's either a passive or active transport.

What kind of transport require energy?

Active Transport


What does active transport require that passive transport doesn't?

Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient. That means than it takes energy to drive protein pumps to move something across the cell membrane from a low concentration to a higher one.


Through what type of proteins does active transport occur?

Active transport occurs through carrier proteins that pump molecules against their concentration gradient using energy from ATP. These carrier proteins undergo conformational changes to transport molecules across the cell membrane.
