your friend tells you that he is studying a substance cellular tansport proprties and that it requires neither requires ATP nor is dependent on Na gradient , but needs a carrier. you immediately tell him that this is called cotransport. are you justified in saying that?

Re: deep truths on physiology usmlefever3 - 11-22-08 12:44 no this is not cotransport . i think it is facilitated diffusion which is a type of passive transport and a protein carrier is required in it

bingousmle - 11-22-08 12:55 @ kingofhearts , to procure the latest set of dvds a search on social networking sites , may prove useful.
regarding the vignette , you are absolutely justified to say that it is facilated diffusion!!
and that cotransport would be a case where a substance would be transported across the Na gradient and use metabolic energy of ATP

Re: deep truths on physiology usmlefever3 - 11-22-08 14:48 active transport is divided in direct and indirect forms...........co transport is in indirect form
can u give example for facilitated diffusion

Re: deep truths on physiology bingousmle - 11-23-08 00:00 yes co and counter transport are the two types of secondary active transport.
the simplest example for facilitated diffusion would be the transport of glucose by the GLUT carrieer proteins.
