Summary Introduction

To Determine:

If the given statement 'the carriers are open to a single side of membrane, but the channels are open to both side of the memebrane' is true or false should be determined.

Introduction:

The two prime categories of membrane transport proteins are carrier proteins and channel proteins. The carrier proteins combine with the particular solute to be translocated and go through an array of conformational modifications to move the bound solute through the membrane. The channel proteins, associate with the solute to be translocated much more weakly.

If an ion has the same concentration on both sides of the membrane, then Eion Will be:
For an open channel, what factors determine in which direction ions will move through that channel?
Ions like K+ cannot diffuse directly across the membrane. They need open ion channels to cross the membrane. Explain why.
