Channel proteins differ from carrier proteins in that channels

  • A

    Bind specific solutes and undergo conformational changes

  • B

    Always require ATP

  • C

    Form continuous pores allowing rapid passive flow

  • D

    Only handle large molecules

Explanation

Channels are open (or gated) pores; carriers bind solute and flip between conformations to release it on the other side.
