______ uses membrane proteins to transport large, polar molecules that are not usually permeable to the phospholipid bilayer. Two types of transport proteins: 1) Channel proteins – provide a narrow channel for the substance to pass through. Mostly for water and ions 2) Carrier proteins – physically bind to the substance on one side of the membrane, and change conformation in order to release it on the other. Ideal for small organic molecules, such as glucose and amino acids, that are too large to pass through channels.
