Which of the following types of membrane proteins are responsible for facilitated diffusion?
transport protiens
A form of passive transport that involves membrane proteins to aid in the movement of substances?
Facilitated diffusion
Why the line-with-gaps model is not suitable to explain facilitated diffusion?
Facilitated diffusion is a carrier-mediated form of transport across a membrane. The line-with-gaps model doesn't show the carrier proteins that are in the cell membrane. These proteins are what help facilitated diffusion occur.
How are diffusion and facilitated diffusion diffrent?
Diffusion directly passes through the cell membrane unaffected by the hydrophobic part of the membrane. Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to assist in the movement of molecules. Ions have trouble moving through the hydrophobic part of the membrane.
Molecules that permeate a plasma membrane by facilitated diffusion is what?
requires the aid of transport proteins
Facilitated diffusion required what?
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins

Facilitated diffusion
What carrier proteins help in facilitated diffusion in the cell membrane?
Integral proteins.
Does facilitated diffusion require the use of special membrane proteins?
no

Facilitated diffusion across a biological membrane requires what?
transport proteins

What form of passive transport always requires membrane-bound proteins?
Facilitated diffusion
What is facilitated transport?
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.
