Why the line-with-gaps model is not suitable to explain facilitated diffusion?
Facilitated diffusion is a carrier-mediated form of transport across a membrane. The line-with-gaps model doesn't show the carrier proteins that are in the cell membrane. These proteins are what help facilitated diffusion occur.
What is the use of carrier proteins for diffusion?
facilitated diffusion.
In what type of passive cell membrane transport do carrier proteins combine with specific molecules to assist them across the membrane?
Facilitated Diffusion
In what process are carrier proteins important?
Carrier proteins is important in facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion transports molecules from one area of higher concentration on one side of the membrane to an area of lower concentration on the other side .Because the molecules are moving down their concentration gradient , facilitated diffusion is passive transport.
What are Carrier proteins are in important in?
Carrier proteins is important in facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion transports molecules from one area of higher concentration on one side of the membrane to an area of lower concentration on the other side .Because the molecules are moving down their concentration gradient , facilitated diffusion is passive transport.
The carrier proteins that help in facilitated diffusion are what kind of proteins?
Integral proteins
Facilitated diffusion carrier proteins and cell membrane pumps both?
They both transport substances up their concentration gradients.
Facilitated diffusion and active transport?
Facilitated diffusion = down concentration gradient, it just uses a carrier protein (doesn't need energy)Active transport =goes UP concentration gradient with the help of a carrier protein and ENERGY
What type of proteins are used in facilitated diffusion?
they can be of varying types. examples include like porins, aquaporins and ion channles.
Both active transport and facilitated diffusion involve what?
Carrier proteins
Proteins involved in facilitated diffusion arereceptor proteins?
Carrier proteins; also know as permeases or transporters
How is facilitated diffusion differing from diffusion?
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.
