Acitve Transport Flashcards
Active transport uses energy to pump molecules …
against a concentration
gradient.
Active transport is carried out by membrane-proteins.
membrane-proteins
Hence different proteins in the membrane play a major role in both..nd..
active as well
as passive transport.
Pumps are
Pumps are proteins that use energy to carry
substances across the cell membrane.
pumps can transport
substances from …
a low concentration to a high concentration
a low concentration to a high concentration also …
Uphill transport
Transport rate reaches a maximum when ….
all the protein
transporters are being used or are saturated.
Like enzymes the … is very specific in what it carries across the membrane.
Carrier proteins
Carrier proteins are sensitive to … that react with …
inhibitors
protein side chains
