Diffusion requires no energy as it follows the electrochemical gradient. Active transport requires energy (ATP), as it works against the electrochemical gradient.

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.


What is the difference between active transport and osmosis?

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane, and does not require the input of energy. Active transport requires energy input.


What are the types of movement through a membrane?

Osmosis, diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport


What cause certain things to enter cell?

Things can enter the cell through various processes, such as osmosis, diffusion and active transport. Passive transport (diffusion/osmosis) occurs because of a difference in concentration across the membrane.


What type of plasma membrane transport is used for exchange?

Diffusion


What types of transport mechanisms through the cell membrane are passive?

diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis


Does facilitated diffusion require a transport protein for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane?

Yes, facilitated diffusion does require a transport protein for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane.


What is falicitated diffusion?

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport where specific molecules are transported across the cell membrane with the help of transport proteins. Unlike simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion requires the presence of these proteins to facilitate the movement of molecules across the membrane.


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.
