Question

carriers channels both carriers and channels allows passive transport of molecules/ions acts as an open \tunnel\ through a membrane has hydrophobic r - groups that interact with the interior of lipid bilayers only allows molecules/ions of specific sizes to flow through changes shape when functioning

Explanation:

• Carriers: Changes shape when functioning.
• Channels: Acts as an open "tunnel" through a membrane; only allows molecules/ions of specific sizes to flow through.
• Both Carriers and Channels: Allows passive transport of molecules/ions; has hydrophobic R - groups that interact with the interior of lipid bilayers.

Answer:

• Carriers: changes shape when functioning
• Channels: acts as an open "tunnel" through a membrane; only allows molecules/ions of specific sizes to flow through
• Both Carriers and Channels: allows passive transport of molecules/ions; has hydrophobic R - groups that interact with the interior of lipid bilayers
