A sodium potassium pump is different from diffusion cos, it requires energy (ATP), and therefore is a active transport. Rather then diffusion which is the passive transport of solutions across cell membranes without using energy, and is determined by the concentration gradient.
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
facilitated diffusion
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which does not require the cell to expend energy.
Aquaporins are involved in osmosis by facilitating the movement of water molecules across cell membranes. They do not participate in facilitated diffusion, which involves the transport of solutes across membranes with the help of carrier proteins.
Because facilitated diffusion moves moolecules from regions of higher concentration toward lower concentration, active transport moves particles through membranes from region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration
Diffusion, osmosis, Facilitated Diffusion
It isn't homie..
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
simple and facilitated diffusion don't require energy and are forms of passive transport. Active transport requires energy
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins
Facilitated diffusion does not require the use of energy.
The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.
Facilitated diffusion is different from regular diffusion because it involves the use of transport proteins to help molecules move across the cell membrane, while regular diffusion does not require any proteins and relies on the natural movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
simple diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.
Facilitated diffusion is an inactive mode.So no ATP cost.
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.
