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.

the cell
Osmosis is an example of passive transport, specifically a type of facilitated diffusion. In osmosis, water molecules move across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the use of energy.
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
Yes, facilitated diffusion is an example of passive transport. The cell does not expend any energy; integral proteins in the cell's surface membrane act as carriers.
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
The glucose transporter that is activated by insulin (glut 4) is a prime example.
The glucose transporter that is activated by insulin (glut 4) is a prime example.
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.
The glucose transporter that is activated by insulin (glut 4) is a prime example.
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.
