Question

Which statement can be shared by facilitated

diffusion and active transport!

1) Bloth need carrier transporter, which are sensitive to inhibitors that reacts with

protein side chains

Z Energy is required by both the processes

3) No energy expenditure in these processes
4)ith use carbohydrates to move molecules across the membrane​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct Answer is Option No. 1

Explanation:

• Diffusion and active transport both require carrier protein to transport their cargo to and fro from the cell.
• These carrier proteins have very specific binding sites for their substrates.
• Carrier protein undergoes reversible conformational changes when a substrate binds to it. This help in transporting the substrate from one side of the membrane to the other.
• Carrier protein transporters are sensitive to inhibitors. Various competitive and non-competitive inhibitors can block the binding site of the carrier protein, thereby, hindering its function.

Answer 2

(1) Bloth need carrier transporter, which are sensitive to inhibitors that reacts with protein side chains is the correct statement can be shared by facilitated diffusion and active transport

Explanation:

1.In both, facilitated diffusion and active transport, there is an involvement of carrier transport or transporter proteins. These are highly specific enzyme and shows sensitivity to inhibitors.

2.In facilitated diffusion, molecules diffuse across the plasma membrane with assistance from membrane proteins, such as channels and carriers. A concentration gradient exists for these molecules, so they have the potential to diffuse into (or out of) the cell by moving down it.

3.active transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration—against the concentration gradient. Active transport requires cellular energy to achieve this movement.
