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.

Step 1
Facilitated transport is a type of passive transport that involves the use of a carrier protein to move molecules across a membrane. This means that the movement of molecules is driven by the concentration gradient, and no energy is required. Show more…

Facilitated diffusion 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 high concentration. d. involves the use of ATP molecules.
Facilitated diffusion and active transport both a. require ATP. b. require the use of proteins as carriers or channels. c. carry ions and not small molecules. d. increase without limit as the concentration gradient increases. e. depend on the solubility of the solute in lipids.
