Facilitated diffusion

Vedclass · Answer

(C) Simple diffusion is a passive process that does not require membrane proteins.Imbibition is a special type of diffusion involving the absorption of water by solids (colloids),which also does not require membrane proteins.Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport that specifically requires membrane proteins (carrier proteins or channel proteins) to move molecules across the lipid bilayer.Therefore,only facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins.

$S.no.$	Property	Facilitated diffusion	Active Transport	Simple Diffusion
$I.$	Highly specific	Yes	Yes	No
$II.$	Energy as $ATP$	No	Yes	No
$III.$	Saturation point reached when all carrier proteins are used	Yes	Yes	No
$IV.$	Require transport proteins	Yes	Yes	No
