Question

Distinguish between simple diffusion (SD), facilitated diffusion (FD), and active transport (AT) across a membrane for the following questions. (More than one may be true.) Which processes are energy dependent? Which processes need some kind of carrier protein(s)? Which processes can be saturated by substrate? Which processes can establish a concentration gradient? How much energy does it take to transport an uncharged substrate in, if its starting inside concentration is 10-fold greater than outside?

Explanation / Answer

a). Activetransport

b).facilitateddiffusion

c). Facilitteddiffusion and active trnsport

d). Activetransport
