Neither of these require energy. Diffusion occurs naturally when a higher concentration of a substance exists on one side of a membrane than the other; molecules will enter into the area of lesser concentration until there is an equilibrium on both sides.

Active transport requires the energy of the cell.

How is faciliated transport similar to simple diffusion?

Facilitated and simple diffusion both transport solutes along a concentration gradient and neither processes require any ATP expenditure.


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.


What type of transport requires energy to move molecules from an area with low concentration to an area of high concentration?

Active transport is needed to move molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of higher concentration against their concentration gradient. ATP is used as the power source.


Does faciliated diffusion require energy?

Facilitated diffusion does not require energy because it relies on the use of carrier proteins to transport molecules across a cell membrane down their concentration gradient. These carrier proteins facilitate the movement of specific molecules such as glucose or ions without the need for ATP or energy input.

No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.


Which is a type of passive transport?

Diffusion is a type of passive transport where molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without the use of energy.


What type of transport is it when gluclose molecules move into a cell?

Glucose molecules entering a cell typically occurs through facilitated diffusion, which is a type of passive transport. This process involves the movement of glucose across the cell membrane with the help of specific transporter proteins.
