No, although it is specific and faster, it is still diffusion.

What is the relationship between a virus and a host?
Virus require a host to carry out the most of the characteristics of living organisms. In almost cases, viruses require a host to reproduce (by hijacking the cells of the host and using its DNA to make copies of itself) and also receive the bulk of their energy from the host.
How does facilitated transport differ from active transport?
Simple diffusion = flow of small molecules ALONG the concentration gradient, does NOT require energy. facilitated diffusion = flow of molecules ALONG the concentration gradient with help of CARRIER PROTIENS or CHANNELS, does NOT require energy active transport= flow of larger or charged molecules AGAINST their concentration gradient, REQUIRES input of ENERGY in the form of ATP.)
Does the facialited diffusion require the cell to use energy?
No, it does not require energy use from the cell.
What does not require energy?
Water flowing downhill does not require energy, only the force of gravity.
What are capillary transport mechanism?
diffusion through the membranes bulk flow transport via vesicles or caveolae
What is A cell moving particles with the use of energy is called?
Active transport: The movement of particles against the concentration gradient into or out of a cell. Bulk transport:The movement of large molecules into or out of the cell. Both of these require energy
How does the bulk flow of filtrate into the capsule differ from diffusion?
The bulk flow of filtrate is a type of diffusion. Diffusion is a broad category of distribution of a substance within another substance. Diffusion can be specific or general in location and rate of flow.
What force causes the bulk flow of fluids?
Pressure Gradient
The flow of thermal energy?
the flow of thermal energy
When eddy diffusion occurs?
if there is convective flow or bulk flow or random mixing of molecules ,eddy diffusion will occur.
Does electron pairing require energy?
no it does not require energy.
What is flow of energy?
Energy flow refers to the transfer of physical energy from one place to another. This often involves the flow of fluid.
Is solar energy flow?
Yes solar energy is a flow resource
What is the difference between convection and convection currents?
Convection is the mode of heat transfer, referring to the transfer of heat energy due to bulk motion of a fluid."Convection current" is the name of that bulk motion of the fluid, the transfer of MASS. I prefer to call it buoyantly driven flow. It doesn't flow due to convection, convection is due to if flowing. It flows due to buoyancy in the case of free convection.Peyton

Why is the energy expended during endocytosis worth it?
Endocytosis is the bulk transport of materials into a cell, using energy in the form of ATP. It is an active process, and the energy is used to move the membranes around the materials to form the vesicles that are needed, and to move the vesicles into the cell.
What is the energy flow and the biomass in the taiga ecosystem?
fast energy flow in the biomass
