what is the difference between facilitated diffusion and secondary active transport?
431109
Facilitated diffusion is a passive process in which membrane channels mediate the transport of polar, or big molecules that are not solvable in the cell membrane. Co-transport, on the other hand, is active transport, as it depends on the electrochemical gradient of ions across the cell's membrane, particularly Na+.

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.

Facilitated diffusion may or may not require energy from ATP. 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.

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

Facilitated diffusion is the movement of a molecule from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration with the help of a protein channel or carrier. ... Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane.

Osmosis is movement of water molecules from an area of their higher concentration to area of their lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane. Active transport is movement of molecules from an area of their lower concentration to area of their higher concentration using energy in form of ATP by pump proteins.

Diffusion relies on random kinetic movement to spread molecules from high- to low-concentration areas. Conversely, active transport exports or imports particles against the concentration gradient -- from an area of low concentration to high.

There are two types of active transport: primary active transport that uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and secondary active transport that uses an electrochemical gradient.

Passive transport moves across a concentration gradient, or a gradual difference in solute concentration between two areas. ... Facilitated diffusion is diffusion using carrier or channel proteins in the cell membrane that assist in the movement of molecules across a concentration gradient.

The solute can move "downhill," from regions of higher to lower concentration, relying on the specificity of the protein carrier to pass through the membrane. This process is called passive transport or facilitated diffusion, and does not require energy.

Diffusion is the movement of particles down their concentration gradient, meaning they flow from places of high concentration to places of low concentration. When the substance diffusing is water, the process is called osmosis. ... The two main types of diffusion are passive diffusion and facilitated diffusion.

The only difference being, in primary active transport, the energy is derived directly from the breakdown of ATP. In the secondary active transport, the energy is derived secondarily from the energy that has been stored in the form of ionic concentration differences between the two sides of a membrane.

Active transport requires energy for the movement of molecules whereas passive transport does not require energy for the movement of molecules. ... Uptake of glucose in the human intestine is an example of active transport. Simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis and filtration are examples of passive transport.

Even though facilitated diffusion involves transport proteins, it is still passive transport because the solute is moving down the concentration gradient. Small nonpolar molecules can easily diffuse across the cell membrane.

The main goal is to move substance across the cell membrane. There is one main difference between facilitated diffusion and active transport. ... This difference is that active transport needs energy, while facilitated diffusion does not need energy. The energy that active transport uses is ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Active transport can be defined as the movement of molecules across the cell membrane, pumping the molecules against the concentration gradient involving ATP (energy), whereas passive transport can be defined as the movement of molecules within and across the cell membrane and through the concentration gradient, ...
