What is the protein that allows facilitated diffusion of water?
In the facilitated diffusion the transport protein is needed as well in the active transport.
What is used in facilitated diffusion to assist transport of sugar and sodium molecules?
transport proteins both are carrier proteins and channel proteins
Facilitated diffusion is often used to transport what?
It's often used to transport nutrients across the epithelium of the gut. It's also used to reabsorb nutrients from filtrate in the kidney. Any time the body needs to move substances against their concentration gradient without wasting excess ATP, you might expect cells to use facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion usually requires less ATP per molecule moved than does active transport.
Is facilitated diffusion type of active transport?
Facilitated diffusion is passive transport as no energy is used, and a protein channel is all that's required. After that it is simple diffusion down a concentration gradient. Anything with the word diffusion in it is passive transport. Diffusion is just the principle of passive transport.
What process is used to move sugar molecules across a cell membrane?
The process used to move sugar molecules across a cell membrane is called facilitated diffusion. This process involves the use of transport proteins in the cell membrane to help facilitate the movement of sugar molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, without requiring energy input from the cell.
When are transport proteins used?
During facilitated diffusion
What type of passive transport is shown is the transparency?
Facilitated diffusion because carrier proteins are being used.
What is used in facilitated diffusion to assist the transport of sugar and sodium?
transport proteins both are carrier proteins and channel proteins
When would facilitated diffusion be used?
Facilitated diffusion is used when molecules need to move across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, but cannot pass through the lipid bilayer on their own. In facilitated diffusion, carrier proteins or channel proteins help facilitate the movement of these molecules across the membrane.
What is the protein that allows facilitated diffusion of water?
In the facilitated diffusion the transport protein is needed as well in the active transport.
What used a protein to move a molecule across a cell membrane without energy?
Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to move a molecule across the cell membrane without energy.
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.
What is used in facilitated diffusion to assist transport of sugar and sodium molecules?
transport proteins both are carrier proteins and channel proteins
Does facilitated diffusion require the Cell to use energy?
No, there is no ATP used in facilitated diffusion, because it is a form of passive transport. It only differs from normal diffusion in that it uses transport proteins to move larger or more polar molecules across the membrane of the cell.
Is this true that Facilitated diffusion would be used on large molecules?
its false, facilitated diffusion would be used on small molecules
When does facilitated diffusion occur?
Facilitated diffusion occurs when molecules move across a cell membrane with the help of specific transport proteins. This process is used to transport large, polar, or charged molecules that cannot pass through the lipid bilayer unaided.
What type of molecule can be used as a tunnel to move compounds across the cell membrane?
Carrier proteins are a type of molecule that can be used as a tunnel to move compounds across the cell membrane. These proteins bind to specific molecules and undergo conformational changes to transport them across the membrane. This process is known as facilitated diffusion.
