Neet Solved Paper 2013 Question 21
Question: Which of the following criteria does not pertain to facilitated transport?
Options:
A) Requirement of special membrane proteins
B) High selectivity
C) Transport saturation
D) Uphill transport
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- Facilitated transport is a form of passive transport in which materials are moved across the plasma membrane by a transport protein down. Their concentration gradient. It requires integral membrane proteins and highly selective biological membranes to cross. Saturation occurs in facilitated, diffusion because not enough carriers may be available to handle all the free solute molecules. The rate of movement may reach a maximum. Uphill transport is a process in which diffusion of a component occurs from a less concentrated stream to a more concentrated permeable stream.
