Summary Introduction

To find: If the given figures represent active transport or passive transport.

Introduction: Cellular transport is the process of moving molecules and ions into and out of a cell. It requires specialized cellular structures and can involve either active transport, which requires energy, or passive transport, which happens without energy. Active transport moves molecules and ions against their concentration gradient, while passive transport moves molecules and ions along their concentration gradient.

Discuss how the structure of the SERCA Ca ion pump allows for the passage of Ca across themembrane. Make sure you detail the mechanism of transfer, where does the energy storycome in, timing of shape shifts, etc.
Describe the role of each of the membrane proteins shown in the picture below.  Think about what is happening to the electrons and describe how energy is transformed as electrons move along the chain. Part of this involves the formation of the proton gradient. The other part is the explanation of the energetics of electron transport that you investigated above. In other words, the reason that electrons always flow from complex I to complex III to complex IV to oxygen.
In facilitated diffusion, what is the role of the transport protein? > View Available Hint(s) O Transport proteins allow solutes to move passively down their concentration gradient across the membrane. O Transport proteins provide the energy for diffusion of the solute. O Transport proteins provide a low-resistance channel for water molecules to cross the membrane. O Transport proteins provide a protein site for ATP hydrolysis, which facilitates the movement of a solute across a membrane. Transport proteins organize the phospholipids to allow the solute to cross the membrane.
