What happens in each of the three main parts of facilitated diffusion?
Binding: Molecules from the extracellular environment bind to the carrier protein on the cell membrane. Transportation: The carrier protein undergoes a conformational change, allowing the molecules to pass through the membrane. Release: Once inside the cell, the molecules are released from the carrier protein and the protein returns to its original conformation for further transport.
Does facilitated diffusion require ATP?
In cells, passive diffusion is energy independent and therefore does not require ATP. This is opposed to active transport which requires either energy in the form of ATP or a charge gradient to move a molecule or ion across the membrane.
Ions can move through water by what process?
It depends whether by "channels" you mean channel proteins or ion pumps.Substances that move through channel proteins do so by facilitated diffusion. This is diffusion, and therefore is passive (it requires no energy input from the cell). It is called facilitated, because the substances cannot pass through the phospholipid bilayer, and so their passage across the membrane is facilitated by the channels.Ion pumps are different. They move ("pump") a substance against its concentration gradient. This does require a supply of energy, and the cell may supply this by breaking down ATP. The process is called active transport, and can only occur in carrier proteins. Ion pumps are one form of carrier protein.
Which proteins are used in active and passive transport?
In active transport, proteins like pumps (such as Na+/K+ ATPase) are commonly used to move molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy in the form of ATP. Passive transport commonly involves proteins like ion channels and carrier proteins that facilitate the movement of molecules down their concentration gradient without requiring energy input.
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.
Is carrier proteins passive transport or active transport?
Carrier proteins can use active or passive transport depending on what type of carrier protein it is (meaning what the protein transports). The form of passive transport that they use is facilitated diffusion. An example of active transport is the Sodium Potassium pump. Active transport requires ATP. Facilitated diffusion is used to transport polar molecules and ions that cannot directly cross the cell membrane. Facilitated diffusion doesn't require energy.

Does osmosis require a carrier?
NO. Osmosis( by definition) is the DIFFUSION of water from a high concentration gradient to a low concentration gradient across a semipermeable membrane. As diffusion is a form of passive transport, it doesnt require a carrier

What are the protein molecules in a cell membrane that assist in cell transport?
Protein molecules are responsible for membrane transport. In passive transport diffusion is the phenomenon in which molecules flow naturally from areas of high concentration to lower concentrations.
A protein is a long string of?
amino acids form a chain called a polypeptide chain and form a protein
What is the passive form of destroy?
The passive form of "destroy" is "be destroyed."
What is the passive form of produce?
The passive form of produce is "produced."
What is the passive form of an imperative sentence Do it?
The passive form of "Do it." is "Let it be done (by you)."
The simplest form of a protein is called?
Amino Acids
Who are you in passive voice?
"Your name is not known by me." is passive voice.
Are carrier proteins active or passive transport?
Carrier proteins facilitate active transport by moving molecules or ions across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient. They require energy in the form of ATP to transport substances across the membrane.
