No, there is no ATP used in facilitated diffusion, because it is a form of passive transport. It only differs from normal diffusion in that it uses transport proteins to move larger or more polar molecules across the membrane of the cell.

∙ 12y agoYes, true.
Passive diffusion does not require energy use. Facilitated diffusion does, because this transportation uses certain proteins as carriers to move the large unsoluble lipid molecules across the membrane in favor of the gradient; from higher concentration to lower concentration; yet energy is used to 'maintain' these proteins.

∙ 14y agoNo. Active diffusion is the only type of diffusion that requires energy.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes; as opposed to unfacilitated diffusion that occurs by itself, unaided.

Osmosis does not require what?
Osmosis does not require a cell to expand its own energy. Osmosis is a type of diffusion process for water.
Cell energy is needed in?
diffusion
What is the difference between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion?
It doesn't. (answer by RRU member Cyrem)
What processes take material into cells?
The processes that take material into cells are osmosis and diffusion. This is usually facilitated by the selective permeable membrane of the cell.
Where can you find a diagram to show diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules across a selectively permeable layer from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. In cells, this can happen without the use of energy from the cell. Only molecules of certain sizes and attributes can diffuse. Others may need to be facilitated or moved via active transport (using energy). See the 'Related Links' below for diagrams and pictures.
Does the facilitated diffusion not require the cell to use energy?
It does not require the use of the cells energy.
Is osmosis an example of facilitated diffusion or active transport?
No. Facilitated diffusion is an example of passive transport because it does not require the cell to expend energy.
How is facilitated diffusion diferant froma an active transport?
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which does not require the cell to expend energy.
What are the three transport processes that do not require cell energy?
Passive Transport,Facilitated Diffusion, and Simple Diffusion
Do cells gain and then use energy through facilitated diffusion?
Cells do not gain (or use) energy through facilitated diffusion.
What requires no energy from the cell?
facilitated diffusion
What does not require energy from the cell?
I believe it is facilitated diffusionendocytosis
What process requires energy from the cell?
facilitated diffusion
What types of diffusion do not require energy?
Diffusion does not require energy. Diffusion is that natural tendency of particles to move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentratrion and therefore, it does not need energy to occur.
Which process requires no energy from the cell?
Facilitated diffusion.
Does a cell need energy for facilitated diffusion?
beceause it just does
In facilitated diffusion which process does not require energy?
Simple and facilitated diffusion are a part of passive transport. This refers to the movement of molecules, atoms and ions across the cell membrane. In both of these processes, molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration because equilibrium is trying to be maintained in living organisms. Simple diffusion just happens randomly and without any aides. Facilitated diffusion uses proteins in the cell membrane to guide polar molecules and ions in and out of the membrane (always to areas of lower concentration) and DOES NOT require ENERGY.Only active diffusion requires energy.
