What is Simple Diffusion and Facilitated Diffusion
Both simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are passive transport processes that are vital to every cell in our body. Although they share some similar basic properties, their mode of operation differs in many aspects.
How does Simple Diffusion Differ from Facilitated Diffusion
Simple Diffusion vs Facilitated Diffusion
What Characteristics do Simple Diffusion and Facilitated Diffusion share
In both the processes, the molecules move from a region of their high concentration to a region of low concentration, i.e., along the concentration gradient
Both require energy expenditure by the cell and thus are passive transport mechanisms
Presence of a membrane is necessary for both simple and facilitated diffusion
