Which of these statements about the facilitated diffusion of glucose is true? a. There is a net movement from the region of lower to the region of higher concentration. b. Carrier proteins in the plasma membrane are required for this transport. c. This transport does not require energy obtained from ATP. d. It is an example of cotransport.

Step 1
Facilitated diffusion is a passive process, meaning it does not require energy and moves substances from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. So, this statement is false. b. Facilitated diffusion requires carrier proteins to help Show more…

Which of the following statements is true for facilitated diffusion? A) it is slow, and uses a concentration gradient to move highly polar molecules and ions across membranes B) it uses proteins such as ion channels to move substances against their concentration gradient across a membrane C) it involves the movement of molecules against a concentration gradient across a membrane D) it speeds up the favorable movement of substances across a membrane E) none of the above

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
