Facilitated diffusion occurs when a substance is aided across a membrane by a special molecule called an ionophore. Ionophores allow some molecules to diffuse but not others, effectively speeding up the rate of diffusion of that molecule.
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
Yes
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins
Facilitated diffusion does not require the use of energy.
simple diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.
No, glucose enters a cell most rapidly through facilitated diffusion with the help of glucose transporters, such as GLUT proteins. Facilitated diffusion allows glucose to move down its concentration gradient into the cell without requiring energy.
facilitated diffusion.
Facilitated diffusion is an inactive mode.So no ATP cost.
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins
its false, facilitated diffusion would be used on small molecules
