Diffusion directly passes through the cell membrane unaffected by the hydrophobic part of the membrane. Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to assist in the movement of molecules. Ions have trouble moving through the hydrophobic part of the membrane.

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.

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.
