Answer
Channel proteins develop pores in the cell membrane. Pores have open and closed states through which ions and molecules move in and out of the cell. In carrier proteins, the movement of molecules or ions across the membrane is facilitated by their conformational changes depending on the concentration gradient.
Work Step by Step
Channel proteins are transmembrane proteins that transport specific ions and molecules across the membrane only through passive diffusion, whereas carrier proteins transport ions and molecules either through facilitated diffusion or through secondary active transport.
