The structures in a cell membrane that facilitate active transport are primarily composed of proteins, specifically membrane transport proteins or pumps. These proteins can include carrier proteins and channel proteins, which use energy, often in the form of ATP, to move particles against their concentration gradient. This process is essential for maintaining the cell's internal environment and enabling the transport of nutrients and ions.

What is the different between active transport and passive transport of molecules across the cell membrane?

In an active transport, the cell uses energy (ATP) to transport the particle into the cell. Also, the particle moves through a "hallway" type thing. In a passive transport, the cell does not need energy (ATP) to transport the particle into the cell. Also, the particle just bursts through the cell membrane to get inside.

How does a large particle leave a cell by a active transport?

It requires energy, and a protein carrier molecule. The large particle binds to the protein carrier on the inside of the cell. It is then transported across the membrane as a result of a conformational change in the protein (think of it flipping), and then it is released on the outside of the cell. Again, this requires some source of energy.

Which type of transport requires assistance from membrane proteins?

Active transport requires assistance from membrane proteins. These proteins, such as ion pumps and carrier proteins, help move molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy input to drive the process.
