Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
The eventual result of diffusion is equilibrium. The concentrations prior to this point would be uneven. The solutes then diffuse from areas of high solute concentration to areas of low solute concentration. After diffusion, at equilibrium, the concentration will be even in different areas.
Solutes can move across a lipid bilayer through passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion, or active transport. Passive diffusion occurs when solutes move down their concentration gradient, facilitated diffusion involves the use of transport proteins, and active transport requires energy to move solutes against their concentration gradient.
facilitated diffusion
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which does not require the cell to expend energy.
Yes
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
Diffusion is the result of a concentration gradient. When there is a higher concentration of a substance on one side of a barrier than on the other side, the molecules move across the barrier to try and establish equilibrium. This process is diffusion. Diffusion of water is specifically called osmosis. While diffusion occurs in living things, equilibrium is never reached. In an organism, equilibrium is the result of death.
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This process is driven by the natural tendency of particles to spread out and achieve equilibrium.
The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins
Facilitated diffusion does not require the use of energy.
The overall goal of diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion is to achieve equilibrium by moving substances across cell membranes. Diffusion involves the passive movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane to balance solute concentrations. Facilitated diffusion uses specific transport proteins to help molecules that cannot easily cross the membrane to move down their concentration gradient.
