What are the similarities and differences between carrier proteins and channel proteins​

Biology

* Channel proteins- these are proteins with a hydrophilic pore where specific ions are able to pass through the membrane. Each channel protein is specific to an ion. This is the only way ions can travel through the membrane. They are trans membrane proteins.

* Carrier proteins- these are proteins which allow larger or polar molecules through the membrane. They are trans membrane proteins.

Carrier proteins essentially “carry" signals that are not soluble in aqueous solution through the blood stream to their target cells. Carrier proteins for hydrophilic signals prevent degradation of the signal. Channel proteins are embedded in cell membranes. They often are receptors (though not always), and when activated, allow specific ions to pass through the membrane.

A channel protein is a special arrangement of amino acids which embeds in the cell membrane, providing a hydrophilic passageway for water and small, polar ions. Like all transport proteins, each channel protein has a size and shape which excludes all but the most specific molecules

The carrier protein facilitate diffusion of molecules across the cell membrane. The protein is imbedded in the cell membrane and covers the entire membrane. This is important because the carrier must transport the molecule in and out of the cell.

Identify a predator from an Ethiopian Highlands ecosystem.
olga nikolaevna [1]

The Predator from an Ethiopian Highlands ecosystem is the Wolf. The Wolf is

regarded as a Carnivore and it gets its food from preys through Predation.

<h3>What is a Carnivore?</h3>

Carnivores refer to animals which feed on flesh . Carnivores are mainly

secondary or tertiary consumers in the ecosystem.

They prey on herbivores such as

  • Rodents
  • Deers etc.

The prey animal can be classified as Herbivores in terms of feeding

relationships. Herbivores feed on primary producers known as plants.

The roots of many clover plants produce structures that are filled with bacteria. The clover plants provide food and shelter for
ivanzaharov [21]

The type of relationship that occurs between the clover plants and the bacterias is called mutualism.

<h3>What is Mutualism?</h3>

Mutualism is an ecological relationship between individuals of different species, in which both are benefited by the interaction. As it occurs between individuals of different species, it is a so-called interspecific relationship, and, as it benefits all those involved, it is called a harmonic relationship.

Inga [223]

Answer: The atoms in a gas move at high speed.

The atoms in a gas spread in all directions.  

A gas is a state of matter in, which atoms remains in a constant motion, they do not stick together. They are free and can move in all directions. The gas molecules expands to fill the available space. Hence, they can change shape and volume. The gas atoms being in a molecular state moves fast in high speed to break away from each other, to remain in a free state.

How does a species survive a climate change over thousands of years?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

It adapts to the changing climate

Explanation:

Species have to acclimatise to changing climate to enable them survive

A means of adaptation is key for survival of species during climate change

If species do not have acclimatisation strategy, they would not be able to survive the changing climate
