Facilitated diffusion (or facilitated transport) is a process of diffusion, a form of passive transport facilitated by transport proteins. Facilitated diffusion is the spontaneous passage of molecules or ions across a biological membrane passing through specific transmembrane transport proteins. The facilitated diffusion may occur either across biological membranes or through aqueous compartments of an organism.

What type of transport does a small molecule enter a cell with help from a membrane protein additional energy is needed to complete this process?
Facilitated
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.
What is a form of transport that uses transport proteins to move other ions and small molecules across the plasma membrane?
facilitated diffusionfiltration
What are Vesicle-mediated transport is a type of?
facilitated diffusion, secondary active transport and active transport
What type of transport does a small molecule enter a cell with help from a membrane protein additional energy is needed to complete this process?
Facilitated
Does facilitated transport have a sodium potassium pump?
The sodium potassium pump requires ATP - i.e. it is involved in active transport, not facilitated transport.
What form transport is facilitated diffusion?
Passive Transport
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.
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.
Passive transport with the aid of transport proteins is what?
facilitated diffusion
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.
What is a form of transport that uses transport proteins to move other ions and small molecules across the plasma membrane?
facilitated diffusionfiltration
What does the cell transport include?
osmosis, active transport, facilitated transport, difussion,etc
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
How is facilitated transport different from active transport?
Facilated transport does not need to use energy but active transport does.
