Question

Ion carriers are located in which part of the cell???

Open in App
Solution

The cell wall is usually dead and hence, cannot regulate the transport of materials across it. Thus, a cell wall is fully permeable. On the other hand, a plasma membrane or cell membrane is living and regulates the flow of ions across it. The flow of ions occurs through special ion carrier and channel proteins present in the plasma membrane.
