This statement is incorrect. Movement of a solute through a channel protein is always passive, whereas carrier-mediated transmembrane transport can be either passive or active. A transmembrane channel protein creates a pore through the membrane allowing for simple diffusion of a hydrophilic solute down a concentration gradient through the membrane. In contrast, transmembrane carrier protein interacts with and 'escorts' a hydrophilic solute through the…arrow_forwardThe journey of a c f t r protein in internalisation through the endosomol systemarrow_forward
