Rate

• Briefly state the 3 factors affecting the rate of active transport?

  1. Speed of individual carrier proteins
  2. Number of carrier proteins
  3. Rate of respiration and ATP availability
• Give one factor affecting the rate of active transport?

  The speed of individual carrier proteins - the faster they work = faster rate of active transport
• Give one factor affecting the rate of active transport?

  Number of carrier proteins present - more proteins = faster rate of active transport
• Give one factor affecting the rate of active transport?

  Rate of respiration in the cell and ATP availability.

  IF RESPIRATION is INHIBITED = active transport CANNOT take place
