Question

which transport proteins are involved in facilitated diffusion? select all that apply a carrier proteins b channel proteins c gated channel proteins

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport that uses transport proteins to move substances across cell membranes. Carrier proteins bind to specific molecules and change shape to transport them. Channel proteins (including gated channel proteins) form pores or channels that allow specific ions or molecules to pass through. So all three options (carrier proteins, channel proteins, and gated channel proteins) are involved in facilitated diffusion.

Answer:

a. carrier proteins, b. channel proteins, c. gated channel proteins
