What does the protein act like in carrier mediated transport? What type of protein is used? - a shuttle (integral transmembrane protein) What regulates carrier mediated transport? Why? - binding regulates transport because the solute must interact with the protein, changes the protein's shape What are the two types of carrier mediated transport? - facilitated diffusion and active transport Which type of carrier mediated transport allows diffusion to happen easier? - facilitated diffusion Does active transport use diffusion? Why or why not? - it does not use diffusion because it is going against the gradient How is glucose typically brought into cells? - Through facilitated diffusion Is there an energy cost with facilitated diffusion? Why or why not? - there is not an energy cost because it is going with the gradient In facilitated diffusion, what causes the transport? How? - conformation change of the protein caused by the solute binding into the protein
