Carrier proteins aid in facilitated diffusion by binding a particular substance, then altering their shape to bring that substance into or out of the cell.

Those molecules can not go through the lipid layer on their own as they can not dissolve in lipids. (This is sometimes called lipophobia).

This relationship is somewhat like an enzyme and substrate combination.

Why do passenger molecules need to be helped by the carrier protein?

Some molecules can't go through the cell membrane.


Carrier molecules in the plasma membrane are only required for active transport?

Carrier molecules in the plasma membrane are actually used for both active and passive transport of molecules. In active transport, carrier proteins use energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while in passive transport, carrier proteins facilitate the movement of molecules down their concentration gradient without the need for energy input.


Is passenger movement authorized on an aircraft transporting Ethyl Chlorothioformate?

Private transportation in luggage is probably restricted, though you would need to check with your carrier and the customs authorities at the destination and transit countries. Commercial transportation would need clearance by carrier / shipper.


What substances are too large for carrier proteins?

Large molecules such as proteins and polysaccharides are usually too large to be transported by carrier proteins. These molecules are often transported through other mechanisms like endocytosis or exocytosis.

What kind of molecules are moved 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 a carrier protein an active transport or a passive transport?

They are used in both, in passive the molecules move in , then change the shape then leave and the entering and leaving are both by diffusion. in active transport molecules move in by diffusion, change the shape of the carrier protein, then because theyre moving into the cell where the molecule is in higher concentration energy is required to push the molecules out of the carrier proteins, this energy comes from ATP which is supplied to the carrier proteins.


If you have a drivers license for a car do you need one for a scooter?

if you have a full UK driving licence you do not need to have another licence for a moped it ciovers both and you do not need to have L learner plates on either so you can carry a passenger ....... hope this helped


Why do high-energy electrons need carrier molecules?

High-energy electrons are unstable and reactive, so they need carrier molecules to transport them safely without causing damage to the cell. Carrier molecules such as NADH and FADH2 can carry high-energy electrons during cellular respiration, allowing them to participate in energy-producing reactions without causing harm.

Is carrier signal present at output of double side band suppressed carrier?

No, the carrier signal is not present at the output of double side band suppressed carrier. That is what suppressed carrier means. However, the receiver has enough information to regenerate the carrier if need be. The advantage of suppressed carrier mode is that more power can be deployed to the signal-carrying portion of the modulated carrier.
