Question

What is the role of porins and aquaporins in Facilitated diffusion .??? Please help me.......fast...

Answer 1

Answer:

porins are proteins that form large pore in outer membrane of plastids,mitochondria and some bacteria..

Aquaporins are the small pores which help in water transport

Answer 2

Answer:

❄ $\rm\underline\red{ Role \: of \: porins \: :- }$

• Porins allow small sized proteins molecules to diffusion through them.
• Thus, porins cause facilitated diffusion.

❄ $\rm\underline\red{ Role \: of \: aquaporins \: :- }$

• Aquaporins transport water and other small neutral molecules across cellular biological membrane.
• Thus, aquaporins cause facilitated diffusion.
