What is a protein moves molecules across a membrane?
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
Does osmosis or facilitated diffusion require the presence of membrane channels?
Facilitated diffusion requires the presence of membrane channels or transporters to move molecules across the membrane. Osmosis, on the other hand, does not require membrane channels as it involves the passive movement of water molecules through the lipid bilayer of the membrane.
How are diffusion and facilitated diffusion diffrent?
Diffusion directly passes through the cell membrane unaffected by the hydrophobic part of the membrane. Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to assist in the movement of molecules. Ions have trouble moving through the hydrophobic part of the membrane.
Why the line-with-gaps model is not suitable to explain facilitated diffusion?
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.
What is facilitated transport?
Facilitated diffusion (or facilitated transport) is a process of diffusion, a form of passive transport facilitated by transport proteins. Facilitated diffusion is the spontaneous passage of molecules or ions across a biological membrane passing through specific transmembrane transport proteins. The facilitated diffusion may occur either across biological membranes or through aqueous compartments of an organism.
Facilitated diffusion required what?
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins

Does facilitated diffusion require energy for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane?
No, facilitated diffusion does not require energy for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane.
Does facilitated diffusion require energy for the transportation of molecules across the cell membrane?
Facilitated diffusion does not require energy for the transportation of molecules across the cell membrane.
Does facilitated diffusion require energy to transport molecules across the cell membrane?
Facilitated diffusion does not require energy to transport molecules across the cell membrane.
Which type of transport occurs when a membrane protein binds to a molecule on one side of the cell membrane and then releases it on the other side?
Facilitated diffusion occurs when a membrane protein binds to a molecule on one side of the cell membrane and then releases it on the other side. This type of transport does not require energy and relies on the concentration gradient to move molecules across the membrane.
How are diffusion and facilitated diffusion similar?
Substances enter a cell through the cell membrane
What three factors influence regulation in the cell membrane?
Diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.
What are the types of movement through a membrane?
Osmosis, diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport
