In facilitated diffusion, substances will still diffuse down their concentration gradient but they make use of a transport protein.

The process where a nonpolar molecule can just passively get across a membrane is called?
facilitated diffusion
Facilitated diffusion sentence?
Facilitated diffusion is a type of diffusion specifically for larger molecules, to help them cross a selectively permeable membrane with the help of integral proteins that act as carriers. Facilitated diffusion is a passive process, i.e. it does not need energy/ATP.
What process is used to move sugar molecules across a cell membrane?
I do believe that the answer is facilated diffusion.
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.
Compare and contrast active transport and facilitated diffusion-?
Active transport moves solutes against their concentration gradient; facilitated diffusion moves substances down their concentration gradient.
The process where a nonpolar molecule can just passively get across a membrane is called?
facilitated diffusion
The process by which glucose can pass through a cell membrane by combining with special carrier molecules is called?
Facilitated diffusion is the process by which glucose can pass through a cell membrane by combining with special carrier molecules.
What involves the movement of solutes across a selectively permeable membrane by the process of difussion?
facilatated diffusion

What process is used to move sugar molecules across a cell membrane?
I do believe that the answer is facilated diffusion.
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 happens during the process of facilated diffusion?
the diffusing substances first binds selectively to facilitative transporter, then transported across membrane by the change of confirmation of the protein, this process is called as facilitative diffusion
What is facilitated transport?
Facilitated diffusion (or facilitated transport) is a process of diffusion, a form of passive transport facilitated by transport proteins. Facilitated diffusion is the spontaneous passage of molecules or ions across a biological membrane passing through specific transmembrane transport proteins. The facilitated diffusion may occur either across biological membranes or through aqueous compartments of an organism.
What is the process by which substances are moved through the cell membrane by a carrier molecule?
facilitated diffusion or active transport
What is the process called when molecules must join with another molecule such as a protein to get through a membrane?
facilitated diffusion
What is facilited diffusion?
Facilitated Diffusion is the movement of molecules across cell membranes through protein channels and carrier proteins.Facilitated diffusion is a passive transport process, aka no energy required, where substances move down their concentration gradient (high concentration to low concentration) across a protein through a membrane protein because it is unable to diffuse directly through the phospholipid portion of the membrane itself.Diffusion of molecules assisted by protein channels that pierce a cell membrane
What is the process When proteins help molecules move across the membrane is called?
when proteins help molecules move across the membrane, it it called Facilitated Diffusion
