Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which does not require the cell to expend energy.
facilitated diffusion
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.
Simple diffusion
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins
The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.
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.
Facilitated diffusion is an inactive mode.So no ATP cost.
simple diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.
facilitated diffusion.
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins
Cells do not gain energy through facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion is a passive process in which molecules move across the cell membrane from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration with the help of transport proteins, without the need for energy input. Cells use energy through other processes such as active transport and cellular respiration to maintain their functions.
its false, facilitated diffusion would be used on small molecules
Channel proteins facilitate the passive movement of molecules down their concentration gradient. They form channels across the cell membrane, allowing specific molecules to move in and out of the cell without requiring energy input. This process is known as facilitated diffusion.
