It's often used to transport nutrients across the epithelium of the gut. It's also used to reabsorb nutrients from filtrate in the kidney. Any time the body needs to move substances against their concentration gradient without wasting excess ATP, you might expect cells to use facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion usually requires less ATP per molecule moved than does active transport.
What else can I help you with?
Is facilitated diffusion active?
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
How do products of the cell get out of the cell?
Diffusion, facilitated diffusion, passive transport, facilitated transport (?) and active transport ... unless we are referring to viral or bacterial products.
What form transport is facilitated diffusion?
Passive Transport
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.
Passive transport with the aid of transport proteins is what?
facilitated diffusion
In what ways are active transport and facilitated diffusion similar?
Active transport and facilitated diffusion are similar in that they both involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane, but they differ in that active transport requires energy input from the cell, while facilitated diffusion does not.
What are some examples of passive transport?
diffusion facilitated diffusion osmosis
What are three parts of passive transport?
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
What are three example of passive transport?
Diffusion Facilitated Diffusion Osmosis
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
What are all the kinds of passive transport except?
Passive transport includes diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis.
What are the three transport processes that do not require cell energy?
Passive Transport,Facilitated Diffusion, and Simple Diffusion
