The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell membrane
facilitated diffusion
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which does not require the cell to expend energy.
Facilitated diffusion is a carrier-mediated form of transport across a membrane. The line-with-gaps model doesn't show the carrier proteins that are in the cell membrane. These proteins are what help facilitated diffusion occur.
The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.
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.
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.
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.
both need transport protein
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
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.
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.
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell membrane
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins
Facilitated diffusion does not require the use of energy.
