How is simple diffusion different from facilitated diffusion?
|
|
Simple diffusion uses channel proteins
|
|
|
Simple diffusion is slower
|
|
|
Simple diffusion is a passive process
|
|
|
Simple diffusion is specific
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Simple Diffusion: The rate of simple diffusion is low at low solute concentrations because the solute concentration is low. Facilitated Diffusion: When compared to simple diffusion, the rate of facilitated diffusion is much higher at low solute concentrations than that of simple diffusion.
Detailed explanation-2: -The difference is how the substance gets through the cell membrane. In simple diffusion, the substance passes between the phospholipids; in facilitated diffusion there are a specialized membrane channels.
