What carrier molecules are involved in the process of what type of diffusion?

Carrier molecules are not involved.Different between chemical potential leads the diffusion


Is carrier mediated passive or active?

Carrier-mediated transport can be either passive or active, depending on the type of carrier protein involved. Passive carrier-mediated transport allows molecules to move down their concentration gradient without requiring energy input, while active carrier-mediated transport moves molecules against their concentration gradient using energy from ATP or an electrochemical gradient.


What are the main characteristics of facilitated diffusion?

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport that relies on carrier proteins to move specific molecules across the cell membrane. It does not require energy input from the cell and moves molecules down their concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion is selective, allowing only specific molecules to cross the membrane based on their size and charge.


What is the difference between facilitated diffusion with the help of a carrier molecule with the help of a transport protein?

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport (does not require energy). It is called facilitated diffusion because it utilises the carrier protein to diffuse through it. Active transport requires energy to pump certain big molecules to cross over and this uses transport protein. Basically, the difference is just the usage of energy.


Is the following sentence true or false Facilitated diffusion does not require the to use energy?

No. Facilitated diffusion is just diffusion through membrane proteins. But, it is still diffusion and the net movement of molecules is from high to low concentration and therefore does not require added energy. -H. C =)


Is carrier proteins active or a passive transport?

Carrier proteins are involved in facilitated diffusion, a type of passive transport. They bind to specific molecules and assist in their movement across the cell membrane down their concentration gradient without requiring energy input from the cell.


In what type of passive cell membrane transport do carrier proteins combine with specific molecules to assist them across the membrane?

Facilitated Diffusion


What is the definition for diffusion?

Diffusion is one type of passive transport. In Diffusion, molecules move from a higher concentration gradient to a lower concentration gradient. Diffustion does NOT need energy, or ATP.Q: What is the DEFINITION of DIFFUSION?A: Diffusion- a type of passive transport in cells in which molecules move from areas where there are more of them to areas there are fewer of them.ur wlcm (: SnazzyChazzy


What is facilitated defusion?

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport that involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane with the help of transport proteins. These proteins create a channel or carrier through which specific molecules can move down their concentration gradient. It does not require energy input from the cell.


Is facilitated diffusion is an active transport?

The name itself indicates there difference. Diffusion occurs without any other active participant/free flow diffusion is called Transport diffusion. Diffusion occurs with help of other active participant is called Facilitate Diffusion


Does facilitated diffusion require ATP?

In cells, passive diffusion is energy independent and therefore does not require ATP. This is opposed to active transport which requires either energy in the form of ATP or a charge gradient to move a molecule or ion across the membrane.


What type of energy energy is found in the disorderly motion of molecules?

Diffusion, simple Diffusion, osmosis Facilitated Diffusion
