Does facilitated diffusion require the use of energy?

Facilitated diffusion does not require the use of energy.


How does Facilitated diffusion differs from diffusion in that facilitated diffusion?

Facilitated diffusion involves the use of carrier proteins to move specific molecules across the cell membrane, while simple diffusion does not require proteins and involves the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Facilitated diffusion is selective and allows for faster transport of specific molecules that may be too large or polar to diffuse freely through the membrane.


What are the differences between diffusion facilitated diffusion and osmosis?

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Facilitated diffusion involves the use of transport proteins to move specific molecules across the cell membrane. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.


What processes take material into cells?

Two main processes are involved in taking materials into cells: passive transport and active transport. Passive transport includes simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis, which do not require energy. Active transport, on the other hand, uses energy to move materials across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient.


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.

Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins


Does facilitated diffusion require the use of energy?

Facilitated diffusion does not require the use of energy.


What is the difference between diffusion and facilitate diffusion?

The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.


What are the 3 types of diffusion?

How much ATP does the Facilitated diffusion cost the cell?

Facilitated diffusion is an inactive mode.So no ATP cost.


Does glucose enters a cell most rapidly by facilitated diffusion?

No, glucose enters a cell most rapidly through facilitated diffusion with the help of glucose transporters, such as GLUT proteins. Facilitated diffusion allows glucose to move down its concentration gradient into the cell without requiring energy.


What is the use of carrier proteins for diffusion?

facilitated diffusion.


Diffusion requires what?

Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins


Is this true that Facilitated diffusion would be used on large molecules?

its false, facilitated diffusion would be used on small molecules


Diffusion with a channel protein?

Channel proteins facilitate the passive movement of molecules down their concentration gradient. They form channels across the cell membrane, allowing specific molecules to move in and out of the cell without requiring energy input. This process is known as facilitated diffusion.
