Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Carrier proteins and channel proteins are the two major classes of membrane transport proteins. Carrier proteins (also called carriers, permeases, or transporters) bind the specific solute to be transported and undergo a series of conformational changes to transfer the bound solute across the membrane (Figure 11-3).
Detailed explanation-2: -Why is a transport protein needed to move many water molecules rapidly across a membrane? Water molecules are transported with the help of aquaporins in the cell membrane. These proteins are required as water is a polar molecule and cannot directly pass through the non-polar lipid layer.
