to form pore protein, carrier protein.
- has carbohydrate attach to protein, known as glycoproteins.
- has carbohydrate attach to the phospholids, known as glycolipids.

- Down the concentration gradient  ANY 2

 Amino acids 2M
- Facilitated diffusion as it is large uncharged polar molecules.
- With the aids of carrier protein.
- Down the concentration gradient.  ANY 2
Potassium ions 3M
- Active transport as it is large charged ions.
