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.
What is a protein moves molecules across a membrane?
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
Is facilitated diffusion active?
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
Facilitated diffusion required what?
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins
Does facilitated diffusion require the use of energy?
Facilitated diffusion does not require the use of energy.
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 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.
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.
How much ATP does the Facilitated diffusion cost the cell?
Facilitated diffusion is an inactive mode.So no ATP cost.
What are the 3 types of diffusion?
simple diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.
What is the use of carrier proteins for diffusion?
facilitated diffusion.
How is facilitated diffusion similar to diffusion ion channels?
Facilitated diffusion and diffusion ion channels both involve the movement of substances down a concentration gradient without requiring energy input. However, facilitated diffusion involves the assistance of carrier proteins to transport specific molecules, while diffusion ion channels are specialized proteins that form pores in cell membranes for specific ions to pass through.
