What else can I help you with?
Is transport proteins a passive transport?
Carrier proteins can be involved in passive transport.
Are transparent proteins responsible for secreting proteins?
Transport proteins are not responsible for the secretion. Golgi vesicles transport proteins. Proteins synthesis occur in cytoplasm.
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 are cell-membrane proteins?
Membrane proteins are important to carry out the process of selective transport across cells. Na/K channel proteins, ABC transsporters, ATP synthase, ETC chain proteins are some good examples. They mostly cost energy to transport a molecule (active transport) and other protein actually synthesize ATP (ATP synthase)
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
Is transport proteins active transport or passive transport?
passive
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.
In what process are carrier proteins important?
Carrier proteins is important in facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion transports molecules from one area of higher concentration on one side of the membrane to an area of lower concentration on the other side .Because the molecules are moving down their concentration gradient , facilitated diffusion is passive transport.
What are the proteins used in active transport called?
Proteins used in active transport are called transport proteins. These proteins are responsible for moving molecules or ions across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, requiring energy in the form of ATP.
Which kinds of macromolecules are important in transport into and out of cells?
Proteins, particularly transport proteins and channels, are crucial macromolecules for the movement of substances across cell membranes. These proteins facilitate the selective transport of ions, nutrients, and waste products. Additionally, lipids, especially phospholipids, form the cell membrane structure, creating a barrier that regulates what enters and exits the cell. Nucleic acids play a lesser role in transport but are essential for encoding the proteins involved in these processes.
