Question

Difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion biology discussion

Answer 1

Explanation:

Facilitated Diffusion:

Particles which are lipid soluble can easily pass directly through the cell membrane as it is mainly made of it. ... Aquaporin's are membrane proteins for passive transport of water soluble substance. They do not set up a concentration gradient. No energy is utilized.

Answer 2

Answer:

There are two major ways that molecules can be moved across a membrane, and the distinction has to do with whether or not cell energy is used. Passive mechanisms like diffusion use no energy, while active transport requires energy to get done
