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.

∙ 12y agoNo, it does NOT use ATP. It is one form of 'passive transport' of molecules into a cell. Facilitated diffusion doesn't need energy, but it uses specific proteins to transport only specific molecules into a cell, blocking out other items that cannot fit.

∙ 12y agono....ATP is not required during facilitated diffusion and that is why it is id passive. facilitated diffusion occurs with the help of carrier proteins

∙ 13y agoNo, osmosis is a form of passive transport.

Does osmosis or facilitated diffusion require the presence of membrane channels?
facilitated diffusion
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.
Does the facilitated diffusion not require the cell to use energy?
It does not require the use of the cells energy.
What is ATP used for in diffusion?
It's not. Diffusion does not require energy.
What action does not require the cell to use ATP?
Diffusion does not require the use of any ATP.
Is facilitated diffusion an active transport?
no it is not because it does not require the use of ATP
How much ATP does the Facilitated diffusion cost the cell?
Facilitated diffusion is an inactive mode.So no ATP cost.
Does facilitated diffusion need ATP?
yes
Does osmosis or facilitated diffusion require the presence of membrane channels?
facilitated diffusion
How much ATP does the Facilitate diffusion cost the cell?
Facilitated diffusion is an inactive mode.So no ATP cost.
Cells take in oxygen by simple diffusion and glucose by facilitated diffusion Therefore oxygen uptake and glucose uptake will differ from each other in all respects except what?
the need for ATP ANSWER Facilitated diffusion and diffusion do differ in ATP requirments
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 faciliated transport similar to simple diffusion?
Facilitated and simple diffusion both transport solutes along a concentration gradient and neither processes require any ATP expenditure.
What does facilitated diffusion require the use of?
Mo
Facilitated diffusion requires the use of cellular energy ATP expenditure?
No it does not
What process is used to move sugar molecules across a cell membrane?
I do believe that the answer is facilated diffusion.
What does facilitated diffusion not require?
Passive diffusion occurs when you have unequal concentrations of solutes on either side of a permeable membrane, therefore facilitated diffusion shouldn't require a difference in solute concentration to drive it.
