Facilitated diffusion is a type of diffusion specifically for larger molecules, to help them cross a selectively permeable membrane with the help of integral proteins that act as carriers. Facilitated diffusion is a passive process, i.e. it does not need energy/ATP.

Facilitated diffusion is large ions that dissolved in water. This diffusion cannot diffuse freely across the plasma membrane.

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. -H. C =)
What is a sentence with the word permease in it?
The carrier protein for the facilitated transport of glucose is called a permease.
What are the principal cations in opur body fluids?
Well, considering this isn't even a full sentence, let alone a question, I'll see what I can pull out of it.Diffusion of a substance across a semipermeable membrane is diffusion.Diffusion of a solute across a semipermeable membrane is dialysis.Diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is osmosis.Diffusion is a type of passive transport.Osmosis and dialysis are both forms of diffusion.

What is diffusion in a sentence?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, resulting in even distribution.
What is an example of diffusion in a sentence?
