Facilitated diffusion is used when molecules need to move across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, but cannot pass through the lipid bilayer on their own. In facilitated diffusion, carrier proteins or channel proteins help facilitate the movement of these molecules across the membrane.
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
During facilitated diffusion
Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to move a molecule across the cell membrane without energy.
facilitated diffusion
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which does not require the cell to expend energy.
its false, facilitated diffusion would be used on small molecules
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
During facilitated diffusion
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins
Facilitated diffusion does not require the use of energy.
simple diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.
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.
Facilitated diffusion is an inactive mode.So no ATP cost.
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins
