How is facilitated diffusion different from regular diffusion in terms of the mechanism of transport?
Facilitated diffusion is different from regular diffusion because it involves the use of transport proteins to help molecules move across the cell membrane, while regular diffusion does not require any proteins and relies on the natural movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
What else can I help you with?
In what ways are active transport and facilitated diffusion similar?
Active transport and facilitated diffusion are similar in that they both involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane, but they differ in that active transport requires energy input from the cell, while facilitated diffusion does not.
Compare and contrast diffusion and facilitated diffusion?
They both require a trans membrane protein. Facilitated diffusion does not require energy whereas active transport requires energy. Facilitated diffusion takes place when there is a net movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration whereas active transport takes place when there is a net movement of molecules from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration.
Does facilitated diffusion require energy to transport molecules across the cell membrane?
Facilitated diffusion does not require energy to transport molecules across the cell membrane.
How is facilitated diffusion different from passive transport?
Mediated Transport has an extra step of binding to a carrier protein, while Passive transport does not bind to a protein. Both of them however, move along the concentration gradient (High--> Low)
Is osmosis an example of facilitated diffusion or active transport?
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.
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
Is facilitated diffusion active?
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
What are five transport mechanism where by metabolites nutrient or ions cross the cell membrane?
There are many forms of membrane and cell transport. These are the basic transport mechanisms in a prokaryotic animal cell. Facilitated Diffusion Osmosis Diffusion Exocytosis (this takes two forms; phagocytosis and pinocytosis depending on whether the cell is "eating" or "drinking") Endocytosis Carrier Molecules/Channel Proteins
How do products of the cell get out of the cell?
Diffusion, facilitated diffusion, passive transport, facilitated transport (?) and active transport ... unless we are referring to viral or bacterial products.
What form transport is facilitated diffusion?
Passive Transport
How is facilitated diffusion diferant froma an active transport?
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which does not require the cell to expend energy.
Passive transport with the aid of transport proteins is what?
facilitated diffusion
In what ways are active transport and facilitated diffusion similar?
Active transport and facilitated diffusion are similar in that they both involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane, but they differ in that active transport requires energy input from the cell, while facilitated diffusion does not.
What are some examples of passive transport?
diffusion facilitated diffusion osmosis
What are three parts of passive transport?
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
What are three example of passive transport?
Diffusion Facilitated Diffusion Osmosis
Compare and contrast diffusion and facilitated diffusion?
They both require a trans membrane protein. Facilitated diffusion does not require energy whereas active transport requires energy. Facilitated diffusion takes place when there is a net movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration whereas active transport takes place when there is a net movement of molecules from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration.
