Question

what type of transport does facilitated diffusion use? active passive accelerated

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport. Passive transport does not require energy input from the cell. In facilitated diffusion, molecules move across the cell membrane through protein channels or carriers, down their concentration gradient (from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration). Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy (usually in the form of ATP) and moves molecules against their concentration gradient. The term "accelerated" is not a standard category for this type of transport mechanism in cell biology.
