What is an antiporter?
An antiporter is a cell protein which acts within an antiport to transport different molecules or ions across the membrane in opposite directions.
What is countertransport?
The transport of tow chemical species across a membrane in opposite directions
What is the difference between symport and antiport?
Symport is a type of membrane transport where two different molecules are transported in the same direction across a membrane, while antiport is a type of membrane transport where two different molecules are transported in opposite directions across a membrane. In symport, the molecules move in the same direction to maintain equilibrium, whereas in antiport, the molecules move in opposite directions to create a gradient.
What is antiporter?
An antiporter is a cell protein which acts within an antiport to transport different molecules or ions across the membrane in opposite directions.
Which process is responsible for involving an antiport carrier moving solutes in opposite directions across a cell membrane?
The process responsible for involving an antiport carrier moving solutes in opposite directions across a cell membrane is called countertransport. This process utilizes the energy stored in the electrochemical gradient of one solute to drive the movement of another solute in the opposite direction.
What is inter membrane?
It is the extra-Cellular matrix - opposite of the intra-membrane space, the Cytoplasm.
What is the difference between countertransport and antiport?
Cotransport is the name of a process in which two substances are simultaneously transported across a membrane by one protein, or protein complex which does not have ATPase activity. Different types of co-transport Symport When both substances are transported in the same direction the transport protein is known as a symport . Antiport When the substances are transported in opposite directions the transport protein is known as an antiport.
What two make up the cell membrane?
The lipid bilayer makes up the membrane of a cell. The lipid bilayer consists of opposing phospholipids, where the polar ends of both the top layer and the bottom layer of phospholipids face opposite directions.
What is cell membrane pumps?
cell membrane pumps use energy to force molecules in a direction opposite of natural.
Does carbon dioxide and bicarbonate anions move in the same direction across the plasma membrane of an erythrocyte?
Carbon dioxide enters the erythrocyte and reacts with water to form bicarbonate ions, which then exit the erythrocyte. So, they move in opposite directions across the plasma membrane of an erythrocyte.
What is the opposite of pasive?
If you mean the opposite of passive transport, like through a membrane, the opposite is active transport.
Membrane activity most nearly opposite to exocytosis?
The membrane activity most nearly opposite to exocytosis is endocytosis. Endocytosis involves taking in substances from outside the cell by engulfing them with the cell membrane and forming vesicles to bring them into the cell, while exocytosis involves releasing substances from inside the cell to the outside by fusing vesicles with the cell membrane.
