Document Summary

Facilitated diffusion: channel proteins: membrane proteins that form channels across membrane through which substances cross (passive movement involving protein, not concentration gradient), ion channels: usually gated, but opened when a stimulus changes 3 d shape of channel, ligand gated channels are controlled by stimulus that involves binding of chemical signal a. k. a ligands, voltage gated channel is stimulated to open or close by change in voltage, ions pass based on charge and size of ion, aquaporin: transport protein through which water passes in osmosis, carrier proteins: bind substances and speed up their diffusion through phospholipid bilayer, transport polar molecules such as sugars and amino acids, binds to protein, brings it to membrane, changes shape, and releases into cytoplasm, concentration gradient matters to a point > rate of increase slows after diffusion rate becomes constant which is when all carrier molecules have a solute molecule.
