Question

Facilitated diffusion differs from simple diffusion in that

Answer 1

Answer:

c. facilitated diffusion requires an integral protein

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion is process of the spontaneous passive transport (high to low concentration) of molecules or the ions across biological membrane by using specific trans-membrane proteins.

Facilitated transport does not require chemical energy from the ATP hydrolysis as it is a passive transport.

On the other hand, simple diffusion is the transport of the molecule from high tot low concentration without the use of a specific molecule.

Option A, B, D and E are incorrect.
