A. Simple diffusion does not require energy: facilitated diffusion requires a source of ATP. Simple diffusion can only move material in the direction of a concentration gradient; facilitated diffusion moves materials with and against a concentration gradient.

What is the difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion? Diffusion is the driving force behind the movement of many substances across the cell membrane. ... Facilitated diffusion is where molecules cannot directly diffuse across the membrane pass through special protein channels.

In simple diffusion, the molecules can pass only in the direction of concentration gradient. In facilitated diffusion, the molecules can pass both in direction and opposite of the concentration gradient. Simple diffusion permits the passage of only small and nonpolar molecules across the plasma membrane.

During diffusion the molecules move from the region of high concentration to that lower. ... [Should be noted, permeability is a kind of diffusion from polymer film or layer which is porous.

Transport in cells Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high to lower concentration. ... Active transport moves particles from low to higher concentration.

Summary. Facilitated diffusion is the diffusion of solutes through transport proteins in the plasma membrane. Channel proteins, gated channel proteins, and carrier proteins are three types of transport proteins that are involved in facilitated diffusion.

['thin - for a short diffusion distance.', 'large area - achieved by being long and thin, flat, or folded.', 'moist - so that substances can be dissolved for diffusion to happen.']

Diffusion is a process in which transport is driven by a concentration gradient. Gas molecules move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration. Blood that is low in oxygen concentration and high in carbon dioxide concentration undergoes gas exchange with air in the lungs.

In terms of rates and speeds, effusion and diffusion are quite similar. The difference between the two is that diffusion is the spreading out of a substance within a dispersing medium, and effusion is when a substance escapes through a tiny pinhole, or other hole.

Simple diffusion is the process by which solutes are moved along a concentration gradient in a solution or across a semipermeable membrane. ... If the molecules are small enough, this simple diffusion can happen across cell membranes, between the individual phospholipids that make up the membrane.

In diffusion, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. In osmosis, a semipermeable membrane is present, so only the solvent molecules are free to move to equalize concentration.

Temperature: Higher temperatures increase the energy and therefore the movement of the molecules, increasing the rate of diffusion. Lower temperatures decrease the energy of the molecules, thus decreasing the rate of diffusion. Solvent density: As the density of a solvent increases, the rate of diffusion decreases.

The rate of passive transport depends on the permeability of the cell membrane, which, in turn, depends on the organization and characteristics of the membrane lipids and proteins. The four main kinds of passive transport are simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration, and/or osmosis.

This process is called passive transport or facilitated diffusion, and does not require energy. The solute can move "uphill," from regions of lower to higher concentration. This process is called active transport, and requires some form of chemical energy.

In simple diffusion, the movement of particles occurs along the direction of the concentration gradient. In facilitated diffusion, the movement of molecules can occur both in direction and opposite of the concentration gradient.
