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.

What is the difference between diffusion and facilitate diffusion?

The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.


How is facilitated diffusion different from regular diffusion in terms of the mechanism of transport?

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.

How much ATP does the Facilitated diffusion cost the cell?

Facilitated diffusion is an inactive mode.So no ATP cost.


Does glucose enters a cell most rapidly by 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.
