Transport proteins are typically located in cell membranes, where they facilitate the movement of molecules across the membrane. These proteins can be found in both the plasma membrane of the cell and the membranes of intracellular organelles such as the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum.

Where are the proteins of electron transport chains located?

The proteins of electron transport chains are located in the inner mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotic cells and in the plasma membrane in prokaryotic cells. They play a critical role in generating ATP through the process of oxidative phosphorylation.


Where in the mitochondria is the proteins of the ETC located?

The proteins of the electron transport chain (ETC) are located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. This is where the series of complexes involved in electron transfer and ATP production are situated.


Does osmosis involve transport proteins?

No, osmosis does not involve transport proteins. Osmosis is the passive movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane in response to a concentration gradient. Transport proteins are involved in facilitated diffusion and active transport processes.


What are the protein molecules in a cell membrane that assist in cell transport?

Protein molecules are responsible for membrane transport. In passive transport diffusion is the phenomenon in which molecules flow naturally from areas of high concentration to lower concentrations.


Why must transport proteins be peripheral proteins?

Transport proteins must be peripheral proteins because they need to be able to move within the cell membrane to facilitate the transport of molecules across the membrane. Peripheral proteins are not embedded within the lipid bilayer of the membrane, allowing them to move more freely and interact with molecules on both sides of the membrane. This mobility is essential for transport proteins to effectively transport molecules across the cell membrane.

Is transport proteins a passive transport?

Carrier proteins can be involved in passive transport.


Where are the ribosomes the manufacture proteins for transport out of the cell located?

Ribosomes which make extracellular proteins (proteins which are used outside of the cell) are located on the rER (rough ER). Ribosomes which make proteins which remain in the cell are free floating in the cell's cytoplasm.


Are transparent proteins responsible for secreting proteins?

Transport proteins are not responsible for the secretion. Golgi vesicles transport proteins. Proteins synthesis occur in cytoplasm.


Where in the mitochondria is the proteins of the ETC located?

Can proteins pass through transport proteins?

No the soluble proteins can not pass though the transporters on the membrane. Transport proteins are highly specific they only allow the transport of ions such as Na or K across the cell. But transport proteins such as Hemoglobin can carry oxygen or CO2 to all the tissues for respiration.


Are transport proteins only in plant cells?

No, transport proteins are also in other organisms.


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


What is the role of transport proteins in active transport?

Active transport requires energy, unlike passive transport. The carrier proteins in active transport act as a "pump" ( fueled by ATP) to carry/attach themselfves to useful proteins for the cell.


Is transport proteins active transport or passive transport?

passive


Where are the proteins for the electron transport chain located?

The electron transport chain is located in the cristae of a mitochondria. It is the enzymes used during the Krebs cycle that are found in the matrix of the mitochondria. In plants, the electron transport chain is located in the thylakoid membrane of a chlorophyll.
