Simple diffusion is the net movement of substances from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration so its overall net movement is along the concentration gradient. Simple diffusion does not require energy therefore it is 'passive', substances are diffused across the membrane between the phospholipids.

How does faciliated diffusion differ from simple diffusion?
Facilitated diffusion needs some sort of help. Often it would be a protein. Simple diffusion doesn't. If you spill something smelly on the floor in the kitchen, you will smell it all through the house. It will spread by simple diffusion.
Which of these nephron transport processes does not show saturation at high solute values a. coupled cotransport b. facilitated diffusion c. active transport d. simple diffusion?
d. simple diffusion
What is the differences between simple and active diffusion?
Simple diffusion goes with a concentration gradient and does not use ATP where active transport uses ATP to go against a concentration gradient.
The movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration?
diffusion
What facilitates the diffusion of water across the cell membrane?
Osmosis is a type of simple diffusion in which water molecules diffuse through a selectively permeable. Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusionare similar in that both involve.
Are osmotically active substances simple diffusion or active transport?
simple diffusion.
Is simple diffusion the net diffusion of a solvent?
no
What are the 3 types of diffusion?
simple diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.
How does faciliated diffusion differ from simple diffusion?
Facilitated diffusion needs some sort of help. Often it would be a protein. Simple diffusion doesn't. If you spill something smelly on the floor in the kitchen, you will smell it all through the house. It will spread by simple diffusion.
How does gases enter and leave capillaries?
Simple diffusion.
What are the limitation of simple diffusion using the amoeba as an example?
Simple diffusion really says it for itself. Mostly simple molecules and substances can pass through. Water, O2 or CO2, or other small simple molecules are the limited spectrum of simple diffusion.
What happens in simple diffusion?
In simple diffusion, a substance passes through a membrane without any outside intermediary. The rate of diffusion is based on the force exerted..
What are the examples of simple diffusion?
Osmosis is one of the easiest-to-understand examples of diffusion. Past that, you will need to define 'simple'.
How does facilitated diffusion from simple diffusion?
It doesn't. (answer by RRU member Cyrem)
The movement of oxygen into cells from the bloodstream is accomplished through?
Diffusion, specifically simple diffusion
What is the similarity between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion?
both need transport protein
What are the types of diffusions?
In Biology there are three types of diffusion. There are simple, channel, and facilitated diffusion.
