Q. In active transport, carrier proteins are used, which use energy in the form of ATP, to

AIIMSAIIMS 2011

Solution:

In active transport, carrier proteins which are located at membrane, use energy in the form of ATP to transport molecules against concentration gradient of cell membrane. Transportation rate reaches maximum when all carrier proteins are being used or are saturated. These proteins are very specific to certain substances and are sensitive to inhibitors.
