Facilitated diffusion does not require the use of energy.
(a) Compare interstitial and vacancy atomic mechanisms for diffusion. (b) Cite two reasons why interstitial diffusion is normally more rapid than vacancy diffusion. Solution (a) With vacancy diffusion, atomic motion is from one lattice site to an adjacent vacancy. Self-diffusion and the diffusion of substitutional impurities proceed via this mechanism. On the other hand, atomic motion is from interstitial site to adjacent interstitial site for the interstitial diffusion mechanism. (b) Interstitial diffusion is normally more rapid than vacancy diffusion because: (1) interstitial atoms, being smaller, are more mobile; and (2) the probability of an empty adjacent interstitial site is greater than for a vacancy adjacent to a host (or substitutional impurity) atom.
Yes, true. Passive diffusion does not require energy use. Facilitated diffusion does, because this transportation uses certain proteins as carriers to move the large unsoluble lipid molecules across the membrane in favor of the gradient; from higher concentration to lower concentration; yet energy is used to 'maintain' these proteins.
Heating increases the kinetic energy of molecules, causing them to move faster and collide more frequently. This leads to an increase in the rate of diffusion as the molecules disperse more rapidly. Additionally, heating can reduce the viscosity of the medium through which diffusion is occurring, further facilitating the movement of molecules.
Diffusion happens at a faster in hotter temperature of water than a colder temperature of water because the particles with have more kinetic energy, allowing them to move much quicker from high concentration to low.
Facilitated diffusion does not require the use of energy.
diffusion
It's not. Diffusion does not require energy.
Cytosis requires energy, and the production of energy depends on oxygen. Diffusion does not require energy.
Diffusion does not require energy. Diffusion is that natural tendency of particles to move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentratrion and therefore, it does not need energy to occur.
Diffusion occurs via random atomic [and molecular] collisions. The Kinetic Energy that is needed to accomplish this is derived exclusively from Heat. No Heat, or even Warmth, yields no Diffusion.
c. diffusion is the exception as it does not require energy input from the cell to move substances down their concentration gradient. The other processes listed (active transport, endocytosis, exocytosis, sodium-potassium pump) all require energy in the form of ATP.

it just does.
