Questions and Answers

What is a characteristic of carrier proteins involved in facilitated diffusion?

  • They move substances down their concentration gradients (correct)
  • They require energy input to function
  • They are only involved in active transport
  • They move substances against their concentration gradients

What is the direction of substance movement facilitated by carrier proteins?

  • Up their concentration gradients
  • Against their concentration gradients
  • Randomly in all directions
  • Down their concentration gradients (correct)

What is the energy requirement for facilitated diffusion?
