.Active transportis a kind of transport wherein ions ormoleculesmove against aconcentration gradient. This means the movement is from an area of lowerconcentrationto an area of higherconcentration. This type oftransportrequires expending cellularenergyand the assistance ofproteins(i.e.carrier protein)...
Active transport of a second substrate while another ion, typically Na+, K+, or H+ ions, move down the concentration gradient Transporters of active transport In primary active transport, membrane protein transporters include the ion pumps, ion channels, and ATPases. ATPases, in particular, in...

Diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis are three examples of passive transport.Key Vocabulary:Transport protein: a transmembrane (through the membrane) protein that acts as a door for molecules to enter or leave the cytoplasm of a cell; the molecule does bind to the protein to be moved....
Created using AI Trackingproteinmovement within cells is crucial for understanding cellular functions. Techniques such asin situhybridizationutilize fluorescent probes to visualize RNA or DNA locations.Reporter genes, likegreen fluorescent protein (GFP), can be fused to proteins, allowing their movement t...
This transport protein functions in cells with a high internal potassium ion (K+) concentration and low internal sodium ion (Na+) concentration (as shown on the right side of the figure). Three sodium ions bind to the active site of the transporter from the interior of the cell (the "int...
They serve a large variety of functions, including structure, transport and defense. Proteins are made of chains of amino acids, and there are up to four levels of structure. Some specific examples of proteins include collagen, insulin and antibodies. Read Protein Molecule | Definition, Function ...

One dalton is the molecular mass of one hydrogen atom. The molecular weight of a protein is equal to the addition of the molecular weights of the amino acids constituting the protein. Some proteins are of relatively small molecular size, such as insulin, with a molecular weight of about 5,...
