Answer:

The protein that binds to a molecule at one side of the membrane , then changes the shape in order to release the molecule on the other side of the membrane is known as carrier protein.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carrier protein play in important role in facilitate diffusion.Glucose transporter is en example of carrier protein.

carrier protein binds to a molecule at one end of the membrane and then undergo conformational change which helps to molecule to be released on the other side of the membrane.
