What does a carrier protein do in the process of transporting molecules across a cell membrane?

A carrier protein helps transport molecules across a cell membrane by binding to specific molecules and changing shape to move them across the membrane.


What happens during the process of faciltated diffusion?

An Integral Membrane Protein Assists A Specific Substances Across The Membrane.


Does facilitated diffusion require a transport protein for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane?

Yes, facilitated diffusion does require a transport protein for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane.


Are carrier proteins peripheral membrane proteins?

The cell membranes that can act as channels are called integral proteins. Peripheral proteins are the ones that are attached to just one side of the cell membrane.


Does facilitated diffusion require a carrier or channel protein for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane?

Yes, facilitated diffusion requires a carrier or channel protein for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane.


What molecules located in the membrane assist with facilitated diffusion?

Protein channels and carrier proteins are molecules located in the membrane that assist with facilitated diffusion. These proteins help facilitate the movement of specific molecules such as ions, sugars, and amino acids across the cell membrane.


What type of molecules move through a integral protein channels?

Integral protein channels facilitate the movement of ions and small molecules across cell membranes. These channels are selective based on the size and charge of the molecules they allow to pass through.


What is the role of protein channelsin the cell membrane?

Protein channels allow the cell membrane to transfer large molecules across it. Remember, diffusion only occurs with small molecules. Protein channels are a necessity to transfer larger molecules.


Channels within the structure of the cell membrane are composed of....?

Simply stated: ProteinsChannels within the structure of the cell membrane are composed of proteins. A protein that forms an ion channel through a membrane is called a transmembrane protein.


A specific protein that recognizes certain molecules bringing them across the membrane?

The protein you are referring to is likely a transporter protein, which is responsible for facilitating the transport of specific molecules across the cell membrane. These transporter proteins bind to their target molecules on one side of the membrane and undergo a conformational change to transport the molecules to the other side. Examples include glucose transporters and ion channels.


What protein recognizes certain molecules bringing them across a membrane?

channel or transport or receptor


What is intergral proteins?

Integral proteins are membrane proteins that are permanently attached to the membrane phospho lipid bilayer.ATPase enzyme is an example for the integral proteins which make ATP. Peripheral proteins in contrast present on the surface of the membrane.
