Document Summary

Facilitated diffusion: uses the help of a protein. Passive transport just means that it does not require energy, but it includes the two forms of passive transport listed above. In passive transport, the molecules follow the concentration gradient ([high] to [low] concentration) Uses energy directly to move molecules against a concentration gradient. Example: the na+ k+ pump moves na+ out and k+ ions against their concentration gradient. The role of atp in this process is to provide the energy to open: secondary active transport the pump. Active transport to pump an ion (ex: h+), this generates and electrochemical gradient. A second channel uses the energy from the electrochemical gradient to actively move a second molecule. Have lots of different shapes, which are decided by the polypeptide chain/the folding. Also, the shape is determined by how the side chains (r groups) interact with each other. Proteins can be found in the lipid bilayer, working as transporters, receptors, enzymes or anchors.
