Question
what type of transport requires no energy and is used in facilitated diffusion? passive transport active transport super transport
Brief Explanations
To determine the answer, we analyze the types of transport:
- Passive transport is the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy (ATP). Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport that uses transport proteins to move molecules down their concentration gradient.
- Active transport requires energy (ATP) to move substances against their concentration gradient, so it's not the answer.
- "Super transport" is not a recognized type of cellular transport.
