Question

station 4: transport proteins

1. role of carrier proteins? ____________

__________
__________
(example)

Explanation:

Carrier proteins are integral membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of specific molecules across the cell membrane. They bind to the molecule on one side of the membrane, undergo a conformational change, and release the molecule on the other side. This process can be either passive (facilitated diffusion) or active (requiring energy).

Answer:

Carrier proteins transport specific molecules across the cell membrane, either passively (facilitated diffusion) or actively (requiring energy).
