Explain the differences among diffusion facilitated diffusion and osmosis?

osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell membrane


Three types of passive transport?

Simple diffusion: Small, non-polar molecules move across the cell membrane without the need for energy. Facilitated diffusion: Larger or polar molecules use carrier proteins to move across the cell membrane without energy expenditure. Osmosis: The movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.


What are the 3 methods of passive transport?

The three methods of passive transport are simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis. Simple diffusion involves the movement of molecules across a membrane from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Facilitated diffusion uses carrier proteins to help larger or charged molecules move across the membrane. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.


What are all the kinds of passive transport except?

Passive transport includes diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis.


Does osmosis or facilitated diffusion require the presence of membrane channels?

Facilitated diffusion requires the presence of membrane channels or transporters to move molecules across the membrane. Osmosis, on the other hand, does not require membrane channels as it involves the passive movement of water molecules through the lipid bilayer of the membrane.
