Question

Which of the following difference is correct about membrane carrier protein and membrane channel protein?

  1. Channel proteins can mediate active transport, whereas carrier proteins cannot mediate active transport.
  2. Carrier proteins are glycoproteins whereas channel proteins are lipoproteins.
  3. Carrier proteins can mediate active transport, but channel proteins cannot mediate active transport.
  4. Carrier proteins are made by free ribosomes, but channel proteins are produced by bound ribosomes.

hintHint:

The active transport is mediated by carrier proteins and not by channel proteins.

The correct answer is: Carrier proteins can mediate active transport, but channel proteins cannot mediate active transport.


    • The proteins in the cell membrane are carrier proteins and channel proteins.
    • The carrier proteins transport the molecules by active transport. Ion exchange is done by carrier protein by passive transport.
    • The channel proteins carry molecules across the membrane by passive diffusion.
