What is a form of active transport that is similar to the work of carrier proteins?

mitochondria


Does facilitated diffusion need membrain protein?

The proteins may assist in the movement of substances by facilitated diffusion or active transport. These mechanisms of movement are known as carrier mediated transport.Each carrier protein is designed to recognize only one substance or one group of very similar substances. Research has correlated defects in specific carrier proteins with specific diseases.


What uses carrier proteins to transport molecules across a semi-permeable membrane?

Carrier proteins in a cell surface (plasma) membrane will carry specific molecules or molecular ions (by facilitated diffusion) through that connot diffuse through the membrane accross a concentration gradient. their are many different types of protein carriers in different cells around the body. in the nephron of a kidney, in the PCT, the cells that line this part of the tubule contain co-transporter proteins that allow facilitated diffusion for both Na+ ions and Glucose to enter at the same time. there are also similar carrier proteins here for Na+ and amino acids. i could keep going but i would be here for a while, they all work differently but if your looking for the mechanism. mostly its by facilitated diffusion, some are just diffusion, actively transported, pumped or osmosis. but you must be specific as to what type of carrier protein is transporting what material.


What role do carrier protiens play in facilitated diffusion?

facilitated diffusion is also called cell-mediated diffusion because a substance transport in this manner diffuses through the membrane using a specific carrier protein to help.first, carrier protein binds to the binding site of the carrier protein ,and then there is a conformational change in the shape of the carrier protein that helps the molecule to diffuse other side of the membrane.


Which cellular organelle is responsible for packaging the proteins the cell secrets?

Sercretory vesicles are derived from Golgi bodies. After synthesis, proteins are modified in ER and transported to golgi bodies. Theses vesicles will then transport or secrete out the proteins similar to exocytosis.

How is facilitated diffusion similar to both passive transport and active transport?

AnswerBoth serve to transport molecules across cell membranes and both make use of proteins embedded in cell membrane in order to move these molecules.How_are_facilitated_diffusion_and_Active_transport_similar


Why are carrier proteins in the cell membrane that are used for active transport called ''pumps''?

Carrier proteins involved in active transport are often referred to as "pumps" because they actively move molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy input, similar to how a pump requires energy to move water against gravity. These proteins undergo conformational changes to bind and release molecules, allowing them to transport substances across the cell membrane.

What are transportation proteins?

In one method, transport proteins in the cell membrane "pick up" molecules outside the cell and carry them in, using energy. Transport proteins also carry molecules out of cells in a similar way.


How are receptors and transport proteins similar?

they are both components of the cell membrane

How is active transport similar to facilitated diffusion?

Active transport and facilitated diffusion both involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane. However, active transport requires energy in the form of ATP to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while facilitated diffusion uses carrier proteins to move molecules along their concentration gradient without requiring energy.

Is facilitated diffusion is an active transport?

The name itself indicates there difference. Diffusion occurs without any other active participant/free flow diffusion is called Transport diffusion. Diffusion occurs with help of other active participant is called Facilitate Diffusion


How are active transport and facilitated diffusion different and how are they similar?

Active transport requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while facilitated diffusion does not require energy and moves molecules down their concentration gradient with the help of carrier proteins. Both processes involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane but in opposite directions in terms of energy requirement.


How is faciliated transport similar to active transport?

Both facilitated transport and active transport require the substance that passes the membrane to pass through intermembrane proteins. However, unlike active transport, facilitated transport does not require ATP because it is not actively going against the concentration gradient.
