Simple diffusion allows non-polar molecules to pass through and a little amount of H20. On the other hand, Facilitated diffusion allows ions and polar molecules across the membrane because it contains carrier proteins. It is highly specific to substances it diffuses across the membrane.
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins
Facilitated diffusion does not require the use of energy.
simple diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.
No, glucose enters a cell most rapidly through facilitated diffusion with the help of glucose transporters, such as GLUT proteins. Facilitated diffusion allows glucose to move down its concentration gradient into the cell without requiring energy.
facilitated diffusion.
Facilitated diffusion is an inactive mode.So no ATP cost.
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins
its false, facilitated diffusion would be used on small molecules
Channel proteins facilitate the passive movement of molecules down their concentration gradient. They form channels across the cell membrane, allowing specific molecules to move in and out of the cell without requiring energy input. This process is known as facilitated diffusion.
