What does the facilitated difussion depend on?

Facilitated diffusion depends on specific carrier proteins located in the cell membrane that help transport molecules across the membrane. These carrier proteins are selective and facilitate the movement of specific molecules based on their size, shape, and charge. Additionally, facilitated diffusion relies on the concentration gradient of the molecules to drive their movement across the membrane.


What are phosolipids?

Phoso - means contains phosorous and lipids- is a collective term that means fats of oils. So its a layer of a liquidy faty oil containing phosorous. Phosolipids are located in the cell membrane and help cell diffusion. They are involved in facilitated diffusion accross the cell membrane.


What is the function of porins?

Porins are proteins that are located in the outer membrane a bacteria. They function to form a water-filled pore through the membrane. The porin channel allows the diffusion of small hydrophilic (water-loving) molecules through to the periplasm.


Where are chlorophyll molecules located within plant cells?

chlorophyll molecules are located in the thylakoid membrane


Which vessel carries out diffusion or active transport with individual cells of the body?

The capillaries are the vessels that carry out diffusion with individual cells by allowing molecules to pass into and out of the bloodstream. Active transport with individual cells is carried out by specific transport proteins located in the cell membrane.


How does a carrier protein work?

Carrier proteins facilitates the transport of specific substances through intracellular compartments or across the cell membrane. They bond and then drag the molecules across the bilipid layer, releasing them on the opposite side.


Where in the cell are protein pumps located and what is their function?

Protein pumps are located in the cell membrane and their function is to transport molecules across the cell membrane, regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell.


What chloroplast structure are chlorophyll molecules found?

The chlorophyll pigment is located within the thylakoid membrane and the space between the thylakoid and the chloroplast membrane.


What is Flippase?

I get no credit because this is straight from Wikipedia: "Flippases (rarely, flipases) are enzymes located in the membrane responsible for aiding the movement of phospholipid molecules between the two leaflets that compose a cell's membrane (transverse diffusion)."


Where are chlorophyll molecules located within the chloroplasts?

They are in thylakoid membranes.They are stored inside


Where are MHC molecules located on a cell?

Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules are located on the cell surface of a cell. They are expressed on the plasma membrane, presenting peptides to T cells for immune recognition and response.


Is hormone reception a function of intergral membrane proteins?

Yes, hormone reception is often facilitated by integral membrane proteins called receptors. These receptors are typically located on the surface of the cell membrane and are responsible for binding specific hormones, triggering a series of cellular responses.
