- 1) You are studying a transport protein. It appears to bind temporarily to the molecule to be transported. During normal transport, no energy is expended. The addition of a particular molecule that closely resembles the normally transported molecule inhibits transport. An increase in the concentration of the normally transported molecule in the presence of a constant concentration of the inhibitor increases the rate of transport. What kind of transport is described? 2) What are peripheral membrane proteins?arrow_forwardMagnesium ions are in higher concentration inside the cell.

Select one: A) It is a process in which molecules move from a region of lower concentration to one of higher concentration (or up a concentration gradient). B) It is a process in which molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration (or down a concentration gradient). C) It requires an expenditure of energy by the cell. D) It may require a transport protein. E) It involves movement of molecules down a concentration gradient and may require a transport protein.arrow_forward
