Title: Chapter 06.02.02 Instructor Animation
Caption: Facilitated Diffusion and Ion Transporters: The transport of large molecules like glucose is shown in the example of the GLUT-1 transport protein. The specificity of this transporter and how it is driven by a concentration gradient are discussed. Run time: 1:15
Keywords: active transport, amphipathic, concentration gradient, diffusion, electrochemical gradient, facilitated diffusion, hydrolysis, hydrophilic, hydrophobic, ion channel, membrane protein, passive transport, phospholipid bilayer, polar, selectively permeable, transport protein,
