Mediated Transport

Mediated transport refers to the process of selectively moving substances across a cell membrane with the help of specific transport proteins. These proteins act as facilitators, enabling the movement of molecules or ions that would otherwise be unable to cross the membrane on their own.

Sample Sentences:

• The transport of glucose into the cells is carried out through mediated transport.
• Mediated transport plays a crucial role in the absorption of nutrients by the intestinal cells.
