Yes, faciliated diffusion is when a cell uses energy to maintain homeostasis, but regular diffusion is when homeostasis occurs without using energy.

What doesn't require energy?

Processes such as gravity, diffusion, and osmosis do not require energy input to occur. Additionally, objects at rest do not require energy to maintain their state.


What kind of transport across a membrane does not require energy?

Passive transport does not require energy as it allows molecules to move across a membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Examples of passive transport include diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.


What structure does not require an immediate source of energy to function?

The passive transport process, such as simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion, does not require an immediate source of energy to function. These processes rely on the natural movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.


Which structure does not require an immediate source of energy to function?

Passive transport processes such as diffusion do not require an immediate source of energy to function. These processes involve the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, driven by the concentration gradient.


Which cellular activities doesn't require energy?

Passive transport processes such as diffusion and osmosis do not require cellular energy. These processes involve the movement of molecules across a membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, driven by the inherent kinetic energy of the molecules.

What type of transport is faciliated diffusion?

Neither of these require energy. Diffusion occurs naturally when a higher concentration of a substance exists on one side of a membrane than the other; molecules will enter into the area of lesser concentration until there is an equilibrium on both sides. Active transport requires the energy of the cell.


How is faciliated transport similar to simple diffusion?

Facilitated and simple diffusion both transport solutes along a concentration gradient and neither processes require any ATP expenditure.


Does facilitated diffusion require the use of energy?

Facilitated diffusion does not require the use of energy.


In facilitated diffusion which process does not require energy?

Simple and facilitated diffusion are a part of passive transport. This refers to the movement of molecules, atoms and ions across the cell membrane. In both of these processes, molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration because equilibrium is trying to be maintained in living organisms. Simple diffusion just happens randomly and without any aides. Facilitated diffusion uses proteins in the cell membrane to guide polar molecules and ions in and out of the membrane (always to areas of lower concentration) and DOES NOT require ENERGY.Only active diffusion requires energy.


What is ATP used for in diffusion?

It's not. Diffusion does not require energy.


Why does diffusion require energy?

it just does.


What types of diffusion do not require energy?

Diffusion does not require energy. Diffusion is that natural tendency of particles to move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentratrion and therefore, it does not need energy to occur.


Does the facilitated diffusion not require the cell to use energy?

It does not require the use of the cells energy.


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.


Why are cytosis affected by change in oxygen and diffusion is not?

Cytosis requires energy, and the production of energy depends on oxygen. Diffusion does not require energy.
