What is the name of the method of transport that uses transmembrane proteins with receptors that have a high degree of specificity for the substance being transported?
A)Active transport
B)Mediated transport
C)Transmembranous transport
D)Passive transport

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mediated transport (passive and active) involves integral or transmembrane proteins with receptors having a high degree of specificity for the substance being transported. Inorganic anions and cations (e.g., Na⁺, K⁺, Ca⁺⁺, Cl⁻, HCO₃-) and charged and uncharged organic compounds (e.g., amino acids, sugars) require specific transport systems to facilitate movement through different cellular membranes.
