Which of these statements describes some aspect of facilitated diffusion?a.Facilitated diffusion is another name for osmosis.b.F
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion is a form of passive transport hence no energy is required by the cell. This means that while the molecules are moving down a concentration gradient – line normal diffusion – the movement of the molecules needs to be facilitated (in this case by a transmembrane protein) either because the molecule is polar and can't pass through the hydrophobic region of the cell membrane, or the molecule is too big to passively pass through the small natural pores of the cell membrane.

zlopas [31]
Permitting the exchange of nutrients and gases between the blood and tissue cells is the primary function of capillaries. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels , they are only one cell thick, and they act as sites of the transfer of oxygen and other nutrients from the bloodstream to the body tissues. Additionally, they also collect carbon dioxide, waste materials and fluids for return to the veins.
