Question
Chapter 13, Problem 10P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The mechanisms of transportation of ion through uniporters and channels needs to be distinguished.
Concept introduction:
Channels allow ions to pass through them to down the electrical potential gradient. The uniporters allow only one molecule at a time. It is a basic layer protein involved in diffusion.

Some terms are used more than once] Rab, SNARE, v- SNARE, t-SNARE, Tethering a. Identification of a vesicle to be docked depends on a diverse family of monomeric GTPases called proteins. First, a filamentous protein on a target membrane binds to a protein on the surface of a vesicle. This interaction allows the vesicle to dock on its particular target membrane. A on the vesicle then binds to a complementary_ on the target membrane. Whereas and proteins provide the initial recognition between a vesicle and its target membrane, complementary appropriate target membranes. Together, the proteins ensure that transport vesicles dock at their proteins catalyze the final fusion of the two membranes by squeezing out water making fusion more energetically favorable. b.
