Question

required information view the animation below, and then complete the quiz to test your knowledge of the concept. unlike simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion requires energy expenditure by the cell. true or false true false

Explanation:

Both simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are passive - transport processes. They do not require the cell to expend energy (ATP). Simple diffusion is the movement of small, non - polar molecules directly through the lipid bilayer, while facilitated diffusion uses transport proteins (channels or carriers) to move larger or polar molecules down their concentration gradient. But neither process requires energy input from the cell.

Answer:

False
