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.

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.


What is the use of carrier proteins for diffusion?

facilitated diffusion.

Is this true that Facilitated diffusion would be used on large molecules?

its false, facilitated diffusion would be used on small molecules


Do cells gain and then use energy through facilitated diffusion?

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.
