In cells, passive diffusion is energy independent and therefore does not require ATP. This is opposed to active transport which requires either energy in the form of ATP or a charge gradient to move a molecule or ion across the membrane.

No, facilitated diffusion does not require ATP. It is a type of passive transport where solutes move down their concentration gradient through a protein channel or carrier protein in the cell membrane. ATP is only used in active transport processes.

∙ 12y agoNo, it does NOT use ATP. It is one form of 'passive transport' of molecules into a cell. Facilitated diffusion doesn't need energy, but it uses specific proteins to transport only specific molecules into a cell, blocking out other items that cannot fit.

∙ 13y agono....ATP is not required during facilitated diffusion and that is why it is id passive. facilitated diffusion occurs with the help of carrier proteins

What action does not require the cell to use ATP?
Passive transport, such as simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion, does not require the cell to use ATP because it occurs down the concentration gradient without the need for energy input.
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.
Does the facilitated diffusion not require the cell to use energy?
It does not require the use of the cells energy.
What is ATP used for in diffusion?
It's not. Diffusion does not require energy.
Does osmosis or facilitated diffusion require the presence of membrane channels?
Facilitated diffusion requires the presence of membrane channels or transporters to move molecules across the membrane. Osmosis, on the other hand, does not require membrane channels as it involves the passive movement of water molecules through the lipid bilayer of the membrane.
Is facilitated diffusion an active transport?
no it is not because it does not require the use of ATP
What action does not require the cell to use ATP?
Passive transport, such as simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion, does not require the cell to use ATP because it occurs down the concentration gradient without the need for energy input.
How much ATP does the Facilitated diffusion cost the cell?
Facilitated diffusion is an inactive mode.So no ATP cost.
Does facilitated diffusion need ATP?
yes
How much ATP does the Facilitate diffusion cost the cell?
Facilitated diffusion is an inactive mode.So no ATP cost.
Facilitated diffusion requires the use of cellular energy ATP expenditure?
No, facilitated diffusion does not require the use of cellular energy (ATP). It relies on membrane transport proteins to help move molecules across the cell membrane with the concentration gradient, without needing energy input from 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.
What does facilitated diffusion require the use of?
Mo
What does facilitated diffusion not require?
Passive diffusion occurs when you have unequal concentrations of solutes on either side of a permeable membrane, therefore facilitated diffusion shouldn't require a difference in solute concentration to drive it.
Does net diffusion require ATP?
No, net diffusion is a natural phenomenon that requires no ATP.
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.
Does the facilitated diffusion not require the cell to use energy?
It does not require the use of the cells energy.
