They differ mainly by their shapes but they are an integral part of the membrane itself. The ones that are channels are open in the center. They use no energy.The ones that are pumps do not have a free opening. Also these pumps use energy to allow them to work. This use of energy (ATP) causes them to move objects against the concentration gradient.

What is the fundamental difference between carrier proteins that participate in facilitate diffusion and carrier proteins that function as pumps?

facilitated diffusion does not require energy, as it travels from a higher concentration gradient to a lower one(passive transport). Pumps do require energy to function(Active transport). This energy needed is ATP.


What is protein pump?

it is a protein in a quatenary structure or three d sturucture with in the cell wall and transports macro molecules, hydrophobic molecules or molecules that are going agains the concentration(respectively are to big to go through, repel the cell wall, or are going against the traffic of osmosis) by using those molecules as a substrate( something that fits into a protein) and moves to the other side of the wall


What do ribosome do in animal and plant cells?

Ribosomes function in the production of proteins. These proteins include those that will remain in the cell and those that will be transported out of the cell.


What is the function of the peripheral protein?

Peripheral membrane proteins are proteins that adhere only temporarily to the biological membrane with which they are associated. These molecules attach to integral membrane proteins, or penetrate the peripheral regions of the lipid bilayer. The regulatory protein subunits of many ion channels and transmembrane receptors, for example, may be defined as peripheral membrane proteins. In contrast to integral membrane proteins, peripheral membrane proteins tend to collect in the water-soluble component, or fraction, of all the proteins extracted during a protein purification procedure. Proteins with GPI anchors are an exception to this rule and can have purification properties similar to those of integral membrane proteins.

How do transport proteins that are pumps differ from that are channels?

Transport proteins that are pumps differ from those that are channels in that when it pumps, it moves materials against concentration gradient. Other wise, from low to high concentration levels. Channels move materials down a concentration gradient, requiring no energy expenditure by the cell. From high concentration to low concentration levels.

How do proteins of food differ from those of the organism consuming them?

Proteins in food are genetically programmed to give energy to the organism which eats them once digested, broken into its simplest form( amino acids ) and assimilated into the organism's system.The proteins however, in an organism are meant to either to provide structural strength and integrity to muscles or to digest food.

What does N1H1 stand for?

Hemagglutanin & Neurominadase are surface antigens. The number '1' refers to the specific sub-type of those antigens. The sub-types differ in their basic structure.

How does satellite tv differ from other conventional tv programming?

Satellite tv is prodcasted using communications satelites instead of cable wires enabling you to bounce your signal off various satellites offering a wider range of channels/services. Cable television has a specific number of stations dependent on what kind of package you have� Satellite tv has no limit of stations and can have new channels added daily based on what hits the market. The downside is you do not get local channels. It is cheaper - initially because you would have to local channels but once you add those channels then it amounts to about the same as cable.

Do all farm irrigation pumps run on electricity?

Irrigation pumps can run on electricity. You can also find pumps that will run on a motor, like that of a lawn mowers. So those would use gasoline or diesel.
