Active Transport Steps Flashcards
1
Q
AT 1/5
A
Transport is through carrier proteins spanning the cell membrane
2
Q
AT 2/5
A
Molecule binds to a receptor complementary in shape on the protein
3
Q
AT 3/5
A
ATP binds to the carrier protein from inside of the cell and it is hydroloysed into ATP + Pi
4
Q
AT 4/5
A
This causes the carrier protein to change shape and release the molecule to the other side
5
Q
AT 5/5
A
The phosphate ion is then released and the protein returns to its original shape
