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.

Facilitated diffusion requires the use of cellular energy ATP expenditure?

No, facilitated diffusion does not require the use of cellular energy (ATP). It relies on membrane transport proteins to help move molecules across the cell membrane with the concentration gradient, without needing energy input from the cell.


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.

How is facilitated diffusion similar to active transport in terms of their mechanisms of moving substances across the cell membrane?

Facilitated diffusion and active transport are similar in that they both involve the movement of substances across the cell membrane with the help of specific proteins. However, facilitated diffusion does not require energy, while active transport does require energy in the form of ATP to move substances against their concentration gradient.


Does net diffusion require ATP?
