A particular membrane transport process exhibits saturation, uses carrier molecules, but does NOT require ATP. The process is probably ________.
A) active transport
B) facilitated diffusion
C) osmosis
D) pinocytosis
E) phagocytosis
Saturation
Point when all carrier molecules or enzymes are attached to substrate molecules and no more molecules can be transported or reacted.
Carrier Molecules
Proteins that facilitate the transport of substances across a cell membrane, either by passive or active transport.
ATP
ATP, standing for adenosine triphosphate, functions as the cell's energy shuttle, particularly for metabolic processes.
- Understand the different modes of membrane transport and their characteristics (e.g., active transport, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, phagocytosis, and endocytosis).
