Question
Assertion: Facilitated diffusion is more rapid than simple diffusion. Reason: Facilitated diffusion involves the expenditure of energy unlike simple diffusion.
Step 1
This is true because facilitated diffusion involves the use of carrier proteins that speed up the process of diffusion. In simple diffusion, molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the help of carrier proteins, Show more…
