no, but active transport on the other hand, does require transport proteins to transport the large molecules into the cell.

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.


Does transporting aquaporins proteins require ATP?

No, transporting aquaporin proteins does not require ATP. Aquaporins facilitate the movement of water across cell membranes through passive transport processes, such as osmosis or simple diffusion according to the concentration gradient. ATP is typically not needed for passive transport.


How does passive diffusion differ from facilitated diffusion in terms of their mechanisms of transport?

Passive diffusion and facilitated diffusion both involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane, but they differ in their mechanisms of transport. Passive diffusion does not require the assistance of transport proteins and relies on the natural movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Facilitated diffusion, on the other hand, involves the use of specific transport proteins to help molecules move across the membrane, typically from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. In summary, passive diffusion is a simple process driven by concentration gradients, while facilitated diffusion involves the assistance of transport proteins for more efficient movement of molecules.


Does passive transport rely on diffusion or energy?

No it does not..........simple diffusion is nauture


What types of transport mechanisms through the cell membrane are passive?

diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis

What are the three transport processes that do not require cell energy?

Passive Transport,Facilitated Diffusion, and Simple Diffusion


How is active transport different than simple and facilitated diffusion?

simple and facilitated diffusion don't require energy and are forms of passive transport. Active transport requires energy


What is falicitated diffusion?

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport where specific molecules are transported across the cell membrane with the help of transport proteins. Unlike simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion requires the presence of these proteins to facilitate the movement of molecules across the membrane.


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.


Does simple diffusion require ATP?

No only active transport requires ATP.

In facilitated diffusion which process does not require energy?

Simple and facilitated diffusion are a part of passive transport. This refers to the movement of molecules, atoms and ions across the cell membrane. In both of these processes, molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration because equilibrium is trying to be maintained in living organisms. Simple diffusion just happens randomly and without any aides. Facilitated diffusion uses proteins in the cell membrane to guide polar molecules and ions in and out of the membrane (always to areas of lower concentration) and DOES NOT require ENERGY.Only active diffusion requires energy.

What are the two types of possive transport?

The two types of passive transport are simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Simple diffusion involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane without the need for a specific protein. Facilitated diffusion, on the other hand, requires the assistance of specific transport proteins to move molecules across the membrane.


How simple diffusion can be distinguished from facilitated diffusion?

Simple diffusion does not involve the use of transport proteins and relies on the concentration gradient of molecules for movement across the membrane. Facilitated diffusion, on the other hand, requires specific transport proteins to help facilitate the movement of molecules across the membrane, often against their concentration gradient.
