    Membrane Transport: Dr. Kevin Ahern

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses membrane transport and the different types of membrane proteins that facilitate the movement of molecules across cell membranes. It describes three main types of membrane transport proteins - uniporters, symporters, and antiporters - as well as ion channels. It then explains the mechanisms of passive transport, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. Key active transport examples provided are the sodium-potassium pump and sodium-glucose pump.
