What is facilitated transport and active transport . |
|
Answer» Answer: Facilitated transport Facilitated DIFFUSION (also known as facilitated transport or passive-mediated transport) is the PROCESS of spontaneous passive transport (as opposed to active transport) of molecules or ions across a biological membrane via specific transmembrane INTEGRAL proteins. Active transport In cellular biology, active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane from a region of lower CONCENTRATION to a region of higher concentration—against the concentration gradient. Active transport REQUIRES cellular energy to achieve this movement. |
