Which of the following statements best describes facilitated diffusion across cell membranes? the transported species move down the concentration gradient (from high to low concentration), with the help of a carrier/channel protein the transported species move up the concentration gradient (from low to high concentration), with the help of a carrier/channel protein solute transport is always coupled to an energy source (e.g. ATP hydrolysis) All of the options are correct none the options correctly describes facilitated diffusion

Which of the following statements on membrane transport is NOT correct: A. To transport solutes in the unfavorable direction across the membrane, pumps couple the process with either ATP hydrolysis, light absorption, electron transport, or other favorable transport processes. B. Dissolved gases like O2, CO2, or NO simply diffuse across a membrane bilayer. C. Hydrophilic molecules require assistance by membrane proteins to cross the membrane bilayer. D. The rate of transport facilitated by transporters is faster but less selective for solutes compared to channels. E. The movement across the membrane that is facilitated by channels and transporters is always in the direction favorable for transport (i.e., ΔGt < 0).
