    • 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
