What is a form of transport that uses transport proteins to move other ions and small molecules across the plasma membrane?
facilitated diffusionfiltration
Molecules that permeate a plasma membrane by facilitated diffusion is what?
Molecules that permeate a plasma membrane by facilitated diffusion are typically larger, polar molecules that cannot pass through the lipid bilayer unassisted. These molecules rely on specific transport proteins embedded within the membrane to facilitate their movement across the membrane down their concentration gradient.
What is another form of transport that uses transport proteins to move other ions and small molecules across the plasma membrane?
This process of transportation might be diffusion. Diffusion, by definition, is the process by which molecules spread out, or move from areas where there is a high concentration of molecules to an area where there is a low concentration of molecules.

The majority of water molecules moving across plasma membranes by osmosis do so via a process that is most similar to?
The majority of water molecules moving across plasma membranes by osmosis do so via a process that is most similar to facilitated diffusion. This process involves the use of specialized protein channels called aquaporins, which facilitate the rapid movement of water molecules across the hydrophobic lipid bilayer of the membrane. Unlike simple diffusion, which occurs directly through the membrane, facilitated diffusion requires these specific channels to enhance the transport efficiency of water.
Explain the differences among diffusion facilitated diffusion and osmosis?
osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell membrane

Describe several ways molecules are moved across a plasma membrane?
Diffusion, osmosis, facilitated transport and active transport- which requires energy to work.
Facilitated diffusion sentence?
Facilitated diffusion is a type of diffusion specifically for larger molecules, to help them cross a selectively permeable membrane with the help of integral proteins that act as carriers. Facilitated diffusion is a passive process, i.e. it does not need energy/ATP.

How does eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms undergo facilitated diffusion?
Diffusion is the ability of molecules to follow a concentration gradient, moving from regions of high to low concentration. For small, nonpolar molecules such as O2, CO2, and some narcotics, they are small enough to slip through the phospholipid bilayer of the plasma membrane. Small, polar molecules such as water, are also small enough to slip through, but because of their polar nature, this movement is impeded by a factor of 1000. What about larger molecules like glucose? These molecules are too big to slip through the phospholipid bilayer, regardless of the concentration gradient. Larger molecules require a protein channel for transport across the plasma membrane. Because the movement will be driven by the concentration gradient, this movement is called facilitated diffusion, to indicate that a protein channel is necessary. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have protein channels for this purpose.
