Facilitated transport occurs when a substance moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower without the aid of energy. Active transport involves additional energy as it is moving from a lower concentration into a higher concentration.

Facilitated transport is a mechanism used by the cell to move compounds against the concentration gradient. It involves a specialized protein and often utilizes ATP. Diffusion is the movement of a substance across a semipermiable membrane.
In cells, diffusion often involves the movement of small, polar molecules such as water through the lipid bilayer in response to a concentration gradient. It does not require the use of ATP or specialized proteins.

How is facilitated transport different from active transport?
Facilated transport does not need to use energy but active transport does.
How is active transport different than simple and facilitated diffusion?
simple and facilitated diffusion don't require energy and are forms of passive transport. Active transport requires energy
How is facilitated diffusion different from avtive transport?
Active transport requires energy in the form of ATP.
What is facilitated transport?
Facilitated diffusion (or facilitated transport) is a process of diffusion, a form of passive transport facilitated by transport proteins. Facilitated diffusion is the spontaneous passage of molecules or ions across a biological membrane passing through specific transmembrane transport proteins. The facilitated diffusion may occur either across biological membranes or through aqueous compartments of an organism.
What type of transport does a small molecule enter a cell with help from a membrane protein additional energy is needed to complete this process?
Facilitated
Compare and contrast diffusion and facilitated diffusion?
They both require a trans membrane protein. Facilitated diffusion does not require energy whereas active transport requires energy. Facilitated diffusion takes place when there is a net movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration whereas active transport takes place when there is a net movement of molecules from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration.
Does facilitated transport have a sodium potassium pump?
The sodium potassium pump requires ATP - i.e. it is involved in active transport, not facilitated transport.
What form transport is facilitated diffusion?
Passive Transport
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.
Is facilitated diffusion active?
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
How do products of the cell get out of the cell?
Diffusion, facilitated diffusion, passive transport, facilitated transport (?) and active transport ... unless we are referring to viral or bacterial products.
How does facilitate transport differ from active transport?
Facilitated transport occurs when a substance moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower without the aid of energy. Active transport involves additional energy as it is moving from a lower concentration into a higher concentration.
