What is used in facilitated diffusion to assist transport of sugar and sodium molecules?
transport proteins both are carrier proteins and channel proteins
Which type of protein functions as a transport protein?
One example is: in nerve cells, two crucial proteins that transport ions across the cell membrane, crucial as the cell cannot transmit nerve impulses without them, are together known as the Sodium-Potassium pump.
By what mechanism does the active transport of sodium lead to osmotic flow of water across a membrane?
osmosis
What mechanism does a cell use to move small potassium molecules into the cell against the concentration gradient?
To transport any molecules against a concentration gradient, ATP is required. This process is called active transport. Active transport is enabled by carrier proteins which are located in the cell membrane. To transport charged molecules through the membrane, pore proteins are required.
What is the function of protein channels in the cell membrane?
transport
What is used in facilitated diffusion to assist the transport of sugar and sodium?
transport proteins both are carrier proteins and channel proteins
What is the facilitated diffusion to assist the transport of sugar and sodium molecules?
transport proteins both are carrier proteins and channel proteins
Through what type of proteins does active transport occur?
A carrier protein (as opposed to a channel protein). An example of a carrier protein is the Na+/K+ pump.
What is used in facilitated diffusion to assist transport of sugar and sodium molecules?
transport proteins both are carrier proteins and channel proteins
In active transport carrier proteins?
sodium-potassium pump.
What is the role of ATP in sodium potassium pump?
transport across the membrane
What is the role of ATP in sodium-potassium pump?
transport across the membrane
Does sodium move by active transport?
Sodium ions are thought to get into a cell by diffusion through special spores in the membrane and are expelled by a form of active transport .
How carbon dioxide water and sodium ions are transported across the cell membrane by both passive and active transport?
Carbon dioxide cannot be transported across the membrane by passive transport. However, water and sodium ions can be transported using passive transport.
Which type of protein functions as a transport protein?
One example is: in nerve cells, two crucial proteins that transport ions across the cell membrane, crucial as the cell cannot transmit nerve impulses without them, are together known as the Sodium-Potassium pump.
What would happen to the rate of ion transport if you increased the number of sodium-potassium pump proteins?
the transport will speed up
By what mechanism does the active transport of sodium lead to osmotic flow of water across a membrane?
osmosis
