Why transport proteins require energy to function in active transport?

Because there is a higher concentration inside the cell then out side ....because it requires energy to move the molecules outside in a different direction then they would normally move, it is like riding a bike up a hill it requires energy.

∙ 11y agobecause transport proteins in the cell membrane "pick up" molecules outside the cell and carry them in by using energy.
Wiki User

Does active transport require energy from the cell?
Yes.
What type of cellular transport requires a cell to use energy?
facilated diffusion cause when yer active you use energy
What is a good sentence for Active Transport?
Active Transport is carried out in our body cells. Active Transport uses energy to transport materials.
How do transport proteins work?
They are used in Facilitated Diffusion, helping to transport ions, macromolecules, and other substances incapable of entering a cell by themselves to cross through the plasma membrane of the cell.
Distinguish between active and passive transport?
Active Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane through the expenditure of energy. Passive Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane without the expenditure of energy. Bulk Transport is the type of active transport. Diffusion and Osmosis are type of passive transport.
Why do transport proteins require energy to function in active transports?
because
Does active transport require transport proteins?
Yes, active transport requires carrier proteins in order to function. These require ATP to carry things in and out of the cell.
What process changes the shape of transport proteins when a particle binds with it?
Carrier Proteins. Some don't require ATP (Facillitated transport) and some do require ATP (Active transport) to change shape.
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.
What are membrane structures that function in active transport?
integral proteins
How is faciliated transport similar to active transport?
Both facilitated transport and active transport require the substance that passes the membrane to pass through intermembrane proteins. However, unlike active transport, facilitated transport does not require ATP because it is not actively going against the concentration gradient.
