What is the transport that moves a solute down the concentration gradient?

Simple diffusion


What are the 3 methods of passive transport?

The three methods of passive transport are simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis. Simple diffusion involves the movement of molecules across a membrane from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Facilitated diffusion uses carrier proteins to help larger or charged molecules move across the membrane. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.


What are the two types of possive transport?

The two types of passive transport are simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Simple diffusion involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane without the need for a specific protein. Facilitated diffusion, on the other hand, requires the assistance of specific transport proteins to move molecules across the membrane.


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.


Three types of passive transport?

Simple diffusion: Small, non-polar molecules move across the cell membrane without the need for energy. Facilitated diffusion: Larger or polar molecules use carrier proteins to move across the cell membrane without energy expenditure. Osmosis: The movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.

Cells take in oxygen by simple diffusion and glucose by facilitated diffusion Therefore oxygen uptake and glucose uptake will differ from each other in all respects except what?

Oxygen uptake and glucose uptake will differ in terms of the transport mechanisms involved, as oxygen is taken in by simple diffusion while glucose requires facilitated diffusion. Other factors such as energy requirements, concentration gradients, and specific transport proteins involved may also vary between the two processes.

How is active transport different than simple and facilitated diffusion?

simple and facilitated diffusion don't require energy and are forms of passive transport. Active transport requires energy


How does faciliated diffusion differ from simple diffusion?

Facilitated diffusion needs some sort of help. Often it would be a protein. Simple diffusion doesn't. If you spill something smelly on the floor in the kitchen, you will smell it all through the house. It will spread by simple diffusion.


The process where a nonpolar molecule can just passively get across a membrane is called?

facilitated diffusion


How does passive diffusion differ from facilitated diffusion in terms of their mechanisms of transport?

Passive diffusion and facilitated diffusion both involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane, but they differ in their mechanisms of transport. Passive diffusion does not require the assistance of transport proteins and relies on the natural movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Facilitated diffusion, on the other hand, involves the use of specific transport proteins to help molecules move across the membrane, typically from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. In summary, passive diffusion is a simple process driven by concentration gradients, while facilitated diffusion involves the assistance of transport proteins for more efficient movement of molecules.
