Question

What functions do carrier proteins perform in active transport?

Answer 1

Carrier proteins are involved in facilitated diffusion and active transport of substances out of or into the cell (e.g. diffusion of sugars, amino acids and nucleosides, uptake of glucose, transportation of salts, glucose, amino acids, etc.).

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Carrier proteins help the molecules to go through the cell's membrane.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several kinds of intermembrane proteins that play, mostly, transport roles. Carrier proteins help the molecules go through the membrane with the use of energy, could be ATP, or a bomb. Bombs are proteins that use the movement of one molecule to get other through, for example Na+ K+ bomb. In any case, the protein promotes the physical movement with the use of energy.
