Question
facilitated diffusion is used to transport
multiple choice
lipids and o₂.
sugars and amino acids.
amino acids and lipids.
co₂ and o₂.
o₂ and sugars.
Facilitated diffusion uses transport proteins to move substances across the cell - membrane down their concentration gradient. Small, non - polar molecules like lipids, $O_2$, and $CO_2$ can pass through the lipid bilayer by simple diffusion. However, polar molecules such as sugars and amino acids require transport proteins for diffusion across the membrane, which is facilitated diffusion.
