which relies on carrier proteins

needed substances that are both
lipid-insoluble and too large to
pass through the membrane.
Integral glycoproteins which
bind a solute and undergo a
conformational change to
translocate the solute across
the membrane.
they have a much slower
rate of transport than
Channel Proteins.
