Question

multiple choice 1 point facilitated diffusion differs from simple diffusion because it— only occurs in plant cells uses transport proteins moves molecules from low to high concentration requires energy

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion are both passive transport processes (no energy required) that move molecules from high to low concentration. Facilitated diffusion is not limited to plant cells. The key difference is that facilitated diffusion uses transport proteins (like channel or carrier proteins) to help molecules (such as polar or large molecules) cross the membrane, while simple diffusion does not use such proteins (used for small non - polar molecules like \(O_2\)).

Answer:

C. uses transport proteins
