Document Summary

Diffusion- the movement of a substance from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Facilitated diffusion- carried out by integral membrane proteins, called transport proteins, that extend entirely through the membrane. Channel protein forms hydrophilic pathways in the membrane through which water and ions can pass. Carrier protein- forms passageways through the lipid bilayer, each carrier proteins binds a specific single solute and transports it across the lipid bilayer. Most are transmembrane protein, which span the entire membrane bilayer and therefore have regions that are exposed to the aqueous environment on both sides of the membrane. Peripheral protein positioned on the surface of a membrane and do not interact with the hydrophobic core of the membrane. Uniport- a single solute is transferred by a carrier protein. Symport- solute moves through the membrane channel in the same direction as the driving ion.
