Is the following sentence true or false Facilitated diffusion does not require the to use energy?

No. Facilitated diffusion is just diffusion through membrane proteins. But, it is still diffusion and the net movement of molecules is from high to low concentration and therefore does not require added energy.

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.
Do cells gain and then use energy through facilitated diffusion?
Cells do not gain (or use) energy through facilitated diffusion.
Does Aquaporin channel activity require energy?
NO. aquaporins are pores and are meant for facilitated diffusion.
What does not require energy from the cell?
I believe it is facilitated diffusionendocytosis
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 osmosis or facilitated diffusion require the presence of membrane channels?
facilitated diffusion
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.
What does facilitated diffusion require the use of?
Mo
What does facilitated diffusion not require?
Passive diffusion occurs when you have unequal concentrations of solutes on either side of a permeable membrane, therefore facilitated diffusion shouldn't require a difference in solute concentration to drive it.
How is facilitated diffusion diferant froma an active transport?
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which does not require the cell to expend energy.
Does the facilitated diffusion not require the cell to use energy?
It does not require the use of the cells energy.
Does facilitated diffusion require the use of special membrane proteins?
no
Is facilitated diffusion an active transport?
no it is not because it does not require the use of ATP
What are the three transport processes that do not require cell energy?
Passive Transport,Facilitated Diffusion, and 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
Do cells gain and then use energy through facilitated diffusion?
Cells do not gain (or use) energy through facilitated diffusion.
Does Aquaporin channel activity require energy?
NO. aquaporins are pores and are meant for facilitated diffusion.
