Q

It is a membrane protein that forms
pores or channels as the
passageway for ions (charged
particles) to cross the
membrane.

A

Channel protein

17
Q

Aquaporins is an example of what protein?

A

Channel protein

18
Q

It is a type of facilitated diffusion that its membraneprotein that opens a gate allowing the molecules to
pass through the membrane. It can be opened or closed
in response to stimuli

A

Gated channel protein

19
Q

It carry ions
or molecules across the
membrane by undergoing a conformational change
upon binding

A

Carrier protein

20
Q

It requires the use of energy (ATP). Low concentration to high concentration

A

Active transport

21
Q

Membrane protein
transporters (ion
pumps, ion channels,
ATPases). Its example is sodium-potassium pump

A

Primary active transport

22
Q

Uses potential energy often from electrochemical potential
difference as ions are pumped in and out of the cell.

A

Secondary active transport
