It's often used to transport nutrients across the epithelium of the gut. It's also used to reabsorb nutrients from filtrate in the kidney. Any time the body needs to move substances against their concentration gradient without wasting excess ATP, you might expect cells to use facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion usually requires less ATP per molecule moved than does active transport.

What is the protein that allows facilitated diffusion of water?
In the facilitated diffusion the transport protein is needed as well in the active transport.
What is used in facilitated diffusion to assist transport of sugar and sodium molecules?
transport proteins both are carrier proteins and channel proteins
What process is used to move sugar molecules across a cell membrane?
I do believe that the answer is facilated diffusion.
Is facilitated diffusion type of active transport?
Facilitated diffusion is passive transport as no energy is used, and a protein channel is all that's required. After that it is simple diffusion down a concentration gradient. Anything with the word diffusion in it is passive transport. Diffusion is just the principle of passive transport.
What process the cell must use to allow the protein to enter and why?
The process the cell must use to allow the protein to enter is rather simple and uncomplicated. The cell uses the process of osmosis and diffusion along a concentration gradient to allow for passage in and out of the cell.
When are transport proteins used?
During facilitated diffusion
What is facilitated diffusion often to transport?
It's often used to transport nutrients across the epithelium of the gut. It's also used to reabsorb nutrients from filtrate in the kidney. Any time the body needs to move substances against their concentration gradient without wasting excess ATP, you might expect cells to use facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion usually requires less ATP per molecule moved than does active transport.

What can effect equilibrium shifts?
Active transport/Facilitated Diffusion where energy is used

What is meant by faciliated diffusion?
Facilitated diffusion (or facilitated transport) is a form of passive transport that is facilitated by transport proteins. Most often it is used to transport polarized molecules (such as glucose and amino acids) across the cell membrane.
What is used in facilitated diffusion to assist the transport of sugar and sodium?
transport proteins both are carrier proteins and channel proteins
What is used in facilitated diffusion to assist transport of sugar and sodium molecules?
transport proteins both are carrier proteins and channel proteins
What type of passive transport is shown is the transparency?
Facilitated diffusion because carrier proteins are being used.
What process is used to move sugar molecules across a cell membrane?
I do believe that the answer is facilated diffusion.
What used a protein to move a molecule across a cell membrane without energy?
Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to move a molecule across the cell membrane without energy.
