Facilitated Diffusion is the movement of molecules across cell membranes through protein channels and carrier proteins.
Facilitated diffusion is a passive transport process, aka no energy required, where substances move down their concentration gradient (high concentration to low concentration) across a protein through a membrane protein because it is unable to diffuse directly through the phospholipid portion of the membrane itself.
Diffusion of molecules assisted by protein channels that pierce a cell membrane
What else can I help you with?
What is a protein moves molecules across a membrane?
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
Is facilitated diffusion active?
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
Facilitated diffusion required what?
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins
Does facilitated diffusion require the use of energy?
Facilitated diffusion does not require the use of energy.
What is the difference between diffusion and facilitate diffusion?
The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.
What are the 3 types of diffusion?
simple diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.
How much ATP does the Facilitated diffusion cost the cell?
Facilitated diffusion is an inactive mode.So no ATP cost.
Does glucose enters a cell most rapidly by 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.
What is the use of carrier proteins for diffusion?
facilitated diffusion.
Diffusion requires what?
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins
Is this true that Facilitated diffusion would be used on large molecules?
its false, facilitated diffusion would be used on small molecules
Diffusion with a channel protein?
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.
