The rate of diffusion should also increase due to the increased likelihood of substrate-carrier complex formation. The rate will increase proportionally with the increase in carriers until a threshold is reached and a plateau in rate will occur. This is designated as Vmax

What is the use of carrier proteins for diffusion?

facilitated diffusion.


What macromolecule is involved in facilitated diffusion?

Facilitated diffusion involves the transport of molecules across the cell membrane with the help of transport proteins. These transport proteins are typically made up of proteins, which are macromolecules. Therefore, macromolecules involved in facilitated diffusion are proteins.

What carrier proteins help in facilitated diffusion in the cell membrane?

Integral proteins.


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.


The carrier proteins that help in facilitated diffusion are what kind of proteins?

The carrier proteins that aid in facilitated diffusion are integral membrane proteins. These proteins are embedded within the cell membrane and undergo conformational changes to transport molecules across the membrane.


Passive transport with the aid of transport proteins is what?

facilitated diffusion


Does facilitated diffusion require the use of special membrane proteins?

no


What is the primary cause of diffusion?

The primary driving force of facilitated diffusion are surface cell proteins. These proteins transport substances in and out of the cell.


What is falicitated diffusion?

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport where specific molecules are transported across the cell membrane with the help of transport proteins. Unlike simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion requires the presence of these proteins to facilitate the movement of molecules across the membrane.
