Step 1
Molecules move from high concentration to low concentration: This is a process known as diffusion, and it is a passive process, meaning it does not require ATP (energy). Show more…

Molecules move from high concentration to low concentration. Molecules move from low concentration to high concentration. Involves the passing of molecules across a membrane. Does not require ATP. Pumps, such as sodium-potassium pumps. Osmosis. Protein carriers, protein transporters. Facilitated diffusion. Requires ATP. Passive. Both. Active.
Sukhwinder N.
In passive transport, the energy that drives the movement of molecules across a membrane is provided by ATP. nothing. There is no energy requirement for passive transport. its dedicated membrane transporter. the concentration gradient across the membrane.
Riaz A.
Facilitated transport differs from diffusion in that facilitated diffusion a. involves the passive use of a carrier protein. b. involves the active use of a carrier protein. c. moves a molecule from a low to a high concentration. d. involves the use of ATP molecules.
