Carrier proteins can use active or passive transport depending on what type of carrier protein it is (meaning what the protein transports). The form of passive transport that they use is facilitated diffusion.
An example of active transport is the Sodium Potassium pump. Active transport requires ATP.
Facilitated diffusion is used to transport polar molecules and ions that cannot directly cross the cell membrane. Facilitated diffusion doesn't require energy.

Are carrier proteins active or passive transport?
Active
What are examples of passive transport and active transport?
Proteins that carry out passive transport include channel proteins and carrier proteins. Passive transport is "passive" because it does not use energy. The use of passive transport is also called "facilitated diffusion." Proteins that carry out passive transport includes the proton pump and the sodium-potassium pump; these require energy to function.
What are a series of carrier proteins?
Active transport involves carrier proteins. Carrier proteins bind themselves to particles and transport them to highly concentrated areas within a cell.Facilitated diffusion and active transport require carrier proteins.
A form of passive transport that uses transport proteins-?
Diffusion (passive transport) needs no energy to take place, and therefore no need for transport or carrier protiens. Active transport uses carrier protiens, as the cell needs to work against a concentration gradient. This requires energy. Diffusion can take place outside of cells Active transport can't take place outside of cells.
Which type of transport requires assistance from membrane proteins?
cellular transport nop, is passive transport
Are carrier proteins active or passive transport?
Active
Which proteins are used in active and passive transport?
Carrier Proteins
What is the role of transport proteins in active transport?
Active transport requires energy, unlike passive transport. The carrier proteins in active transport act as a "pump" ( fueled by ATP) to carry/attach themselfves to useful proteins for the cell.
Is a carrier protein an active transport or a passive transport?
They are used in both, in passive the molecules move in , then change the shape then leave and the entering and leaving are both by diffusion. in active transport molecules move in by diffusion, change the shape of the carrier protein, then because theyre moving into the cell where the molecule is in higher concentration energy is required to push the molecules out of the carrier proteins, this energy comes from ATP which is supplied to the carrier proteins.
Is transport proteins active transport or passive transport?
passive
There are two main ways in which molecules are transported into and out of cells - active transport and passive transport. Which of the following statements is true of passive transport?
Carrier proteins are sometimes used during passive transport.
Are carrier proteins passive or active?
Active

Is carrier protiens active or passive transport?
it is active
Is carrier an active or passive transport?
It can be either. A carrier pigeon is active whereas a malaria mosquito is passive.
What are the four types of proteins found in the cell membrane?
Actually, bilipid "heads" form the layers of the membrane, but there are carrier proteins that transport objects into and out of the cells. These carrier proteins use either active or passive transport to get objects across the membrane. Active transport uses energy, while passive transport doesn't need to use energy to get items across. Hope this helps!!!
