A transport protein is a protein which serves the function of moving other materials within an organism. Transport proteins are vital to the growth and life of all living things. There are several different kinds of transport proteins.
Carrier proteins
Carrier proteins are proteins involved in the movement of ions, small molecules, or macromolecules, such as another protein, across a biological membrane like the cell membrane. Membrane carrier proteins are membrane proteins, that is they exist within and span the membrane across which they transport substances. Each carrier protein is designed to recognize only one substance or one group of very similar substances .
Generally membrane carrier proteins, also called channel proteins, are tightly twisted around a central opening full of water so allowing small hydrophilic molecules to enter the cell. Sometimes the channel is even longer than the membrane, accompanying the molecules well inside the cell body. Some types of channels are always opened, other types only open as a response to a precise type of stimulus.
Blood Transport Proteins
These are the proteins transporting material through the blood flux between far parts of the living organism. Serum albumin is one example. It transports water insoluble lipids in the bloodstream. The most known blood transport protein is hemoglobin, transporting molecular oxygen from lungs to all the parts of the body to provide to cells the possibility of carry out oxidation reactions on which they live.

What are functions of protiens?
Enzymatic protiens: selective acceleration of chamical reactionsStructural protiens: supportStorage protiens: storage of amino acidstransprot Protiens: transport of other substancesHormonal Protiens: Coordination of an organism's activitiesReceptor protiens; Response of cell to chemical stimuliContractile and motor Protiens: MovementDefensive protiens: Protection against disease
A form of passive transport that uses transport proteins-?
Diffusion (passive transport) needs no energy to take place, and therefore no need for transport or carrier protiens. Active transport uses carrier protiens, as the cell needs to work against a concentration gradient. This requires energy. Diffusion can take place outside of cells Active transport can't take place outside of cells.
ATP is being used to move the molecules out of the cell by?
ATP is being used to move molecules out of the cell by providing energy to transport proteins in the cell membrane. These proteins use ATP to change shape, allowing them to pump or transport molecules against their concentration gradient. This process is called active transport.
How do transport proteins move substances into and out of the cell?
Transport proteins facilitate the movement of substances across the cell membrane by acting as channels or carriers. Channels allow specific ions or molecules to pass through, while carriers bind to specific molecules and undergo a conformational change to transport them across the membrane. These proteins play a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis by regulating the passage of essential molecules in and out of the cell.

Y r u asking me?
What makes food for plant cell?
Sunlight, water, and nutrients.
How transport proteins move substance into and out of the cell?
Transport protiens are open on the outside and the molecule goes in the protien and it flips and then it enters the cell.

What is the Golgi Body in a cell?
The Golgi Body labels and packages protiens for transport throughout the cell. its like a post office.... Source: my head; we're doing cells in science :)
What can help your pancreas?
protiens help the pancreas because the protiens are also combined with nutrieans
Protiens are made by joining what?
Protiens are made of amino acids bonded together in polypeptide bonds.

Protiens are synthesized in?
ribosomes
