- Define active transport, facilitated diffusion, and passive transport.arrow_forward1) You are studying a transport protein. It appears to bind temporarily to the molecule to be transported. During normal transport, no energy is expended. The addition of a particular molecule that closely resembles the normally transported molecule inhibits transport. An increase in the concentration of the normally transported molecule in the presence of a constant concentration of the inhibitor increases the rate of transport. What kind of transport is described? 2) What are peripheral membrane proteins?arrow_forwardMagnesium ions are in higher concentration inside the cell. What process would the magnesium ions use to enter the cell? Hint: drawing a picture may help you.
