Specific proteins responsible for the flow of materials and information into the cell are called

  • membrane receptors

  • carrier proteins

  • integral proteins

  • none of these


B.

carrier proteins

Active transport is the uphill movement of materials across the membrane where the solute particles move against their concentration gradient or electro- chemical gradient. It takes place through special organic molecules called carrier molecules or carrier particles or carrier proteins. For each solute particle, there is a special carrier molecule. It has its own binding site on the two surfaces of the membrane. Substrate combines with the carrier to form carrier solute complex. It further undergoes a conformational changes and is transported to other side of the membrane. ATP provides energy to the carrier.
