Facilitated Diffusion
osmosis & diffusion
... is called "facilitated diffusion".
No, primary transport involves the active movement of ions or molecules across a membrane against their concentration gradient, using energy typically derived from ATP. In contrast, the passive movement of large particles across the membrane is known as facilitated diffusion, which does not require energy and occurs through specific transport proteins. Thus, primary transport is an active process, while passive movement relies on concentration gradients.
Active transport is the movement of particles across a cell membrane against the concentration gradient with the help of energy. Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, and osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
Movement across a membrane that does require energy is called active transport.
Active transport is ATP dependent, whereas passive transport uses only the kinetic energy of the particles for movement across the plasma membrane- mastering A and P homework-
In passive transport, particles move across a membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without the input of energy. This movement is driven by the concentration gradient and does not require the use of transport proteins. Examples include diffusion and osmosis.
Diffusion and osmosis are forms of passive transport, which is the movement of particles across a membrane without requiring energy input from the cell.
Movement of particles .
The movement is random, but there is a net movement from regions where there are lots of particles to ones where there are fewer particles.
No, passive transport does not require ATP for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane.
