What are the differences and similarities between simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion and osmosis?
Answers
Answer:
- simple -hight to low
- facilated - with specail protein
Explanation:
Diffusion : Is the movement of molecules / ions from a region of higher to lower concentration. It may or may not occur across a semi permeable membrane.
Facilitated diffusion: is a type of passive transport in which ions/molecules cross the semi permeable membrane because permeases present in the membrane facilitate the transport.
Like simple diffusion facilitated diffusion doesn't require metabolic energy and simply occurs across the concentration gradient.
Osmosis : is movement of water from hypotonic solution (lower concentration) to hypertonic solution (higher concentration) through a semi permeable membrane.
The cell membrane being permeable to water allows to and fro movement of water molecules along the concentration gradient.
