How is ficilitated diffusion different from diffusion?

Simple diffusion allows non-polar molecules to pass through and a little amount of H20. On the other hand, Facilitated diffusion allows ions and polar molecules across the membrane because it...

Simple diffusion = flow of small molecules ALONG the concentration gradient, does NOT require energy.facilitated diffusion = flow of molecules ALONG the concentration gradient with help of CARRIER...

Facilitated diffusion involves a carrier protein (or channel).

Facilitated diffusion happens when a molecule is too large to fit through the membrane of a cell that it needs a protein pump to help it through. Diffusion is a molecule being able to diffuse through...

Diffusion is the net movement of a substance through a membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
