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.
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.
What is a protein moves molecules across a membrane?
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
Are aquaporins involved in osmosis or facilitated diffusion?
facilitated diffusion
How is facilitated diffusion similar to diffusion ion channels?
They are both types of passsive transportation.

Diffusion with a channel protein?
They are the channels by which molecules enter in facilitated diffusion.

What is a protein moves molecules across a membrane?
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
Are aquaporins involved in osmosis or facilitated diffusion?
facilitated diffusion
How does Facilitated diffusion differs from diffusion in that facilitated diffusion?
Facilitated diffusion uses integrated proteins that act as channels for ions or molecules to pass through.
Is facilitated diffusion active?
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
How is facilitated diffusion similar to diffusion ion channels?
They are both types of passsive transportation.
Does glucose enters a cell most rapidly by facilitated diffusion?
it enters most rapidly by facilitated diffusion!!
What is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called?
Facilitated Diffusion
Does osmosis or facilitated diffusion require the presence of membrane channels?
facilitated diffusion
Three types of passive transport?
There are three forms of passive transport, or the movement of biochemical and other atomic or molecular substances across the cell membranes. They are: osmosis, simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion, and filtration.
