Glucose molecule going through the protein channel to enter and exit the cell.
Hope I could help.
Osmosis is an example of passive transport, specifically a type of facilitated diffusion. In osmosis, water molecules move across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the use of energy.
In the facilitated diffusion the transport protein is needed as well in the active transport.
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.
Channel proteins facilitate the passive movement of molecules down their concentration gradient. They form channels across the cell membrane, allowing specific molecules to move in and out of the cell without requiring energy input. This process is known as facilitated diffusion.
Facilitated diffusion occurs when a membrane protein binds to a molecule on one side of the cell membrane and then releases it on the other side. This type of transport does not require energy and relies on the concentration gradient to move molecules across the membrane.

Yes, facilitated diffusion is an example of passive transport. The cell does not expend any energy; integral proteins in the cell's surface membrane act as carriers.
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
The glucose transporter that is activated by insulin (glut 4) is a prime example.

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.
