TRANSPORT PROTEINS PROVIDE... .......Answer........."tunnels" for

the movement of ions and hydrophobic molecules across the

phospholipid bilayer


- channel proteins are transmembrane proteins


- form open passageway for facilitated diffusion


- up to 100 million ions may pass/second


- most channels are gated and can close to prohibit diffusion


AQUAPORINS .......Answer.........channels that allow for the faster

movement of water across membranes (facilitated diffusion)

,age 2 of 44




TRANSPORTERS .......Answer.........transmembrane proteins


- bind solutes in hydrophilic pocket + conformational change

results in release on other side


- important for uptake of sugars, amino acids + nucleotides


- 100 to 1000 molecules per second


(facilitated diffusion)


UNIPORTERS .......Answer.........a transporter that carries a single

solute across a cell membrane


primary active transport


SYMPORTERS .......Answer.........drives the active transport of a

molecule by using pre-existing gradient of another


secondary active transport

,age 3 of 44




ANTIPORTERS .......Answer.........drives the transport of once
