How are facilitated diffusion and active transport similar ad how do the differ?

both these processes do the transport against the concentration gradient
uh no facilitated diffusion doesnt go against the gradient, the similiarity is that they both use carrier protiens

∙ 10y agoactive transport requires the usage of energy in the form of ATP to move something against is concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion is a form of simple diffusion in that the substance moves along with its concentration gradient, but it requires the use of a transport protein. Polar molecules are unable to passively diffuse through the lipid bilayer because of its hydrophobicity, even if it is moving with its concentration gradient. Membrane transport proteins are required to allow them to be moved in or out of the cell, but they do not require ATP to complete the process. Similar to active transport, they require the use of a membrane protein for movement through the membrane, but unlike active transport, it does not require the use of any energy.

Diffusion with a channel protein?
They are the channels by which molecules enter in facilitated diffusion.
Is osmosis an example of facilitated diffusion or active transport?
No. Facilitated diffusion is an example of passive transport because it does not require the cell to expend energy.
Compare and contrast active transport and facilitated diffusion-?
Active transport moves solutes against their concentration gradient; facilitated diffusion moves substances down their concentration gradient.
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.
In what process are carrier proteins important?
Carrier proteins is important in facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion transports molecules from one area of higher concentration on one side of the membrane to an area of lower concentration on the other side .Because the molecules are moving down their concentration gradient , facilitated diffusion is passive transport.
Is facilitated diffusion active?
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
Diffusion with a channel protein?
They are the channels by which molecules enter in facilitated diffusion.
Is osmosis an example of facilitated diffusion or active transport?
No. Facilitated diffusion is an example of passive transport because it does not require the cell to expend energy.
Is facilitated diffusion an example of active transport?
no
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
Compare and contrast active transport and facilitated diffusion-?
Active transport moves solutes against their concentration gradient; facilitated diffusion moves substances down their concentration gradient.
What are Vesicle mediated transport is a type of?
facilitated diffusion, secondary active transport and active transport
What are Vesicle-mediated transport is a type of?
facilitated diffusion, secondary active transport and active 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.
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.
Is diffusion through ion channels a form of active transport?
Facilitated diffusion, or diffusion through ion channels, is not a form of active transport. It is a spontaneous passive transport.
What does active transport and facilitated diffusion have in common?
Active transport is when proteins move substances into the cell while expending energy. Facilitated diffusion is the movement of chemicals through a protein into a cell.
