Hello.

The question reads, which of the following is incorrect regarding facilitated diffusion? so first, we have to keep in mind, what is passive and active transport? so passive transport requires no atp, and it's the transport from molecules of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
00:22
Active transport is kind of the opposite of that.
00:26
Active transport requires atp and is the transport of molecules from low concentration.
00:31
Low concentrations to high concentrations.
00:35
And we're focusing on facilitated diffusion.
00:38
So if we break this word down, facilitated means that it requires some aid, a helping hand, you could say.
00:47
And facilitated means it needs a protein channel or a carrier protein to help the molecule pass through the membrane.
00:59
Diffusion, of course, is the concentration.
01:02
Is the transport of molecules from areas of high to low concentrations.
01:09
So from this definition, we can say that facilitated diffusion is an act of passive transport.
01:18
So let's go through the answer choices.
01:20
A says it is a passive process.
01:23
Yes, we've just made that clear that it is a passive process.
01:26
So we can actually delete this since we're trying to find which of the following answer choices is incorrect...
