What does facilitated diffusion not require?

Passive diffusion occurs when you have unequal concentrations of solutes on either side of a permeable membrane, therefore facilitated diffusion shouldn't require a difference in solute concentration to drive it.


What is the difference between facilitated diffusion with the help of a carrier molecule with the help of a transport protein?

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport (does not require energy). It is called facilitated diffusion because it utilises the carrier protein to diffuse through it. Active transport requires energy to pump certain big molecules to cross over and this uses transport protein. Basically, the difference is just the usage of energy.


What is a protein moves molecules across a membrane?

Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.


What is the similarity between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion?

both need transport protein


What is the difference between facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion in terms of the mechanisms by which molecules move across a cell membrane?

Facilitated diffusion involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane with the help of specific proteins, while simple diffusion does not require any proteins and relies on the molecules moving freely through the membrane.


Is facilitated diffusion active?

No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.


What is the difference between passive diffusion and facilitated diffusion?

Passive diffusion is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to low concentration without the need for a protein carrier. Facilitated diffusion, on the other hand, requires the presence of specific protein channels or carriers to help molecules move across the membrane.


What is the difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion in terms of the movement of molecules across a cell membrane?

Diffusion is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to low concentration without the need for a protein. Facilitated diffusion also moves molecules from high to low concentration, but requires a specific protein to help them pass through the membrane.


Explain the differences among diffusion facilitated diffusion and osmosis?

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


Facilitated diffusion required what?

Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins


Does facilitated diffusion require the use of energy?

Facilitated diffusion does not require the use of energy.
