Practice questions

A drug blocks a specific membrane carrier. After treatment, a polar nutrient no longer enters cells, even though extracellular nutrient concentration remains higher than intracellular. ATP levels in the cell are unchanged. When the drug is removed, nutrient entry resumes and stops at equilibrium. Which mechanism best explains nutrient entry when the carrier is not blocked?
