The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.

What is the basic difference between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion across a cell membrane?
The basic difference between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion lies in the mechanism of transport. Simple diffusion involves the movement of small, nonpolar molecules directly across the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane without the need for protein assistance, driven by a concentration gradient. In contrast, facilitated diffusion requires specific transport proteins, such as channels or carriers, to help larger or polar molecules cross the membrane, also following a concentration gradient. Both processes are passive and do not require energy.
What is a protein moves molecules across a membrane?
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
Explain the differences among diffusion facilitated diffusion and osmosis?
osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell membrane
What type of diffusion helps glucose enter the cell?
facilitated diffusion
How is facilitated diffusion diferant froma an active transport?
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which does not require the cell to expend energy.
What is the difference between diffusion and facilitate diffusion?
The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.
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 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.
What is the similarity between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion?
both need transport protein
What is a protein moves molecules across a membrane?
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
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.
Is facilitated diffusion active?
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
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
