Is diffusion through ion channels a form of active transport?

Facilitated diffusion, or diffusion through ion channels, is not a form of active transport. It is a spontaneous passive transport.


What does active transport and facilitated diffusion have in common?

Both active transport and facilitated diffusion are methods of moving substances across cell membranes. Active transport requires energy input to move substances against their concentration gradient, while facilitated diffusion does not require energy and moves substances along their concentration gradient with the help of transport proteins.


How do facilitaed diffusion and active transport differ?

Facilitated diffusion involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane with the help of a specific protein carrier, while active transport uses energy in the form of ATP to transport molecules against their concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion does not require energy input, whereas active transport does.


Differences between active transport and facilitated diffusion?

Active transport requires energy in the form of ATP to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while facilitated diffusion uses carrier proteins to move molecules down their concentration gradient without requiring energy. Active transport can move molecules against their concentration gradient, while facilitated diffusion can only move molecules down their concentration gradient.


Facilitated diffusion depends on?

Facilitated diffusion depends on the presence of specific transport proteins in the cell membrane that help to transport specific molecules across the membrane. These transport proteins facilitate the movement of molecules down their concentration gradient, without requiring energy input from the cell.

In what ways are active transport and facilitated diffusion similar?

Active transport and facilitated diffusion are similar in that they both involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane, but they differ in that active transport requires energy input from the cell, while facilitated diffusion does not.


Is facilitated diffusion active?

No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.


How is active transport different than simple and facilitated diffusion?

simple and facilitated diffusion don't require energy and are forms of passive transport. Active transport requires energy


What are Vesicle mediated transport is a type of?

How is facilitated diffusion similar to active transport in terms of their mechanisms of moving substances across the cell membrane?

Facilitated diffusion and active transport are similar in that they both involve the movement of substances across the cell membrane with the help of specific proteins. However, facilitated diffusion does not require energy, while active transport does require energy in the form of ATP to move substances against their concentration gradient.


How is facilitated diffusion diferant froma an active transport?

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which does not require the cell to expend energy.


How do products of the cell get out of the cell?

Diffusion, facilitated diffusion, passive transport, facilitated transport (?) and active transport ... unless we are referring to viral or bacterial products.


Compare and contrast active transport and facilitated diffusion-?

Active transport requires energy input to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while facilitated diffusion does not require energy and relies on carrier proteins to move molecules down their concentration gradient. Both processes involve the use of proteins to transport molecules across the cell membrane, but active transport can move molecules against their concentration gradient, while facilitated diffusion can only move molecules down their concentration gradient.
