Facilitated and simple diffusion both transport solutes along a concentration gradient and neither processes require any ATP expenditure.

How does faciliated diffusion differ from simple diffusion?

Facilitated diffusion needs some sort of help. Often it would be a protein. Simple diffusion doesn't. If you spill something smelly on the floor in the kitchen, you will smell it all through the house. It will spread by simple diffusion.


Are osmotically active substances simple diffusion or active transport?

simple diffusion.

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


What is the similarity between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion?

both need transport protein


What is the transport that moves a solute down the concentration gradient?

Simple diffusion


What are the two types of possive transport?

The two types of passive transport are simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Simple diffusion involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane without the need for a specific protein. Facilitated diffusion, on the other hand, requires the assistance of specific transport proteins to move molecules across the membrane.


Does passive transport rely on diffusion or energy?

No it does not..........simple diffusion is nauture


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.


This is the process whereby a protein assists in simple diffusion?

Active transport


What are the two types of passive transport?

Simple diffusion and Brownian motion
