Gas Exchange Membrane Transport Flashcards
1
Q
what are the functions of membrane proteins
A
transport of large or hydrophilic molecules, cell signaling, cell-cell recognition
2
Q
what is passive transport
A
does not require energy and transports with the gradient
3
Q
what is active transport
A
requires energy and transports against the gradient
4
Q
primary active transport
A
uses ATP
5
Q
secondary active transport
A
uses gradient established by primary transport
6
Q
what happens to the O2 delivered to the tissues
A
