Facilitated diffusion requires which of the following? You may select more than one answer.
transport protein
ATP
sodium potassium pump
vesicle
* The answer is transport protein.
* Facilitated diffusion is a process in which substance move down to its concentration gradient( higher to lower concentration) using a transport protein. Large insoluble membrane compounds like sugars(glucose) and amino acids undergoes facilitated diffusion.
* facilitated diffusion doesn't require ATP as it is a passive diffusion(doesn't need energy).
* Sodium-potassium pump and vesicle transport comes under active transport(requires energy).
