No not unless it is going from a low concentration to a high concentration. Then it is called active transport. The diffusion of water is called Osmosis

Does facilitated diffusion require the use of energy?

Facilitated diffusion does not require the use of energy.


Do cells gain and then use energy through facilitated diffusion?

Cells do not gain energy through facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion is a passive process in which molecules move across the cell membrane from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration with the help of transport proteins, without the need for energy input. Cells use energy through other processes such as active transport and cellular respiration to maintain their functions.


What is it called when large particles need to use energy to pass through cell membranes?

Does diffusion diffusion use energy?

No, diffusion does not use energy because it is a form of passive transport. The definition (if anybody needs it) is the movement of molecules in a fluid or gas from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.


Does faciliated diffusion require energy?

Facilitated diffusion does not require energy because it relies on the use of carrier proteins to transport molecules across a cell membrane down their concentration gradient. These carrier proteins facilitate the movement of specific molecules such as glucose or ions without the need for ATP or energy input.


Does the facialited diffusion require the cell to use energy?

No, it does not require energy use from the cell.


Does diffusion and active transport use oxygen?

Diffusion does not require energy and can occur without the need for oxygen. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy in the form of ATP and does not directly involve the use of oxygen, although oxygen is essential for producing ATP through cellular respiration.


What are the three ways that things move in and out of the cell?

Things can move in and out of a cell through passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. Passive diffusion involves movement down a concentration gradient without the need for energy input, while facilitated diffusion involves the use of transport proteins. Active transport requires energy input to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
