Q.
Which one of the following is not a characteristic of 37 active transport?
Cell : The Unit of Life
Solution:
In active transport, carrier proteins use ATP for energy to transport against concentration gradient (uphill transport). Binding of carrier protein (transporters) with substance is highly specific as it allows cell to select substances for uptake. Carrier proteins are sensitive to inhibitors as well as show saturation effect. Active transport is faster than passive transport.
