A sodium potassium pump is different from diffusion cos, it requires energy (ATP), and therefore is a active transport. Rather then diffusion which is the passive transport of solutions across cell membranes without using energy, and is determined by the concentration gradient.

∙ 15y agosodium potassium pump requires the use of ATP, and is considered active transport for this reason. it transports sodium and potassium against their concentration gradients into and out of the cell.

What is a protein moves molecules across a membrane?
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
Are aquaporins involved in osmosis or facilitated diffusion?
facilitated diffusion
Does osmosis or facilitated diffusion require the presence of membrane channels?
facilitated diffusion
Three types of passive transport?
There are three forms of passive transport, or the movement of biochemical and other atomic or molecular substances across the cell membranes. They are: osmosis, simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion, and filtration.
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 are 3 different passive transports?
Diffusion, osmosis, Facilitated Diffusion
Diffusion with a channel protein?
They are the channels by which molecules enter in facilitated diffusion.
How is facilitated diffusion different from active?
It isn't homie..
What is a protein moves molecules across a membrane?
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
Are aquaporins involved in osmosis or facilitated diffusion?
facilitated diffusion
How does Facilitated diffusion differs from diffusion in that facilitated diffusion?
Facilitated diffusion uses integrated proteins that act as channels for ions or molecules to pass through.
Is facilitated diffusion active?
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
Does glucose enters a cell most rapidly by facilitated diffusion?
it enters most rapidly by facilitated diffusion!!
What is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called?
Facilitated Diffusion
Does osmosis or facilitated diffusion require the presence of membrane channels?
facilitated diffusion
Three types of passive transport?
There are three forms of passive transport, or the movement of biochemical and other atomic or molecular substances across the cell membranes. They are: osmosis, simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion, and filtration.
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.
