Notes on Simple Diffusion

simple diffusion  How does facilitated diffusion differ from simple diffusion and what are some examples of molecules that undergo facilitated diffusion  Simple diffusion is the direct transport of molecules across the cell membrane that is allowed by the cell membrane Facilitated diffusion, on the other hand,

It means that the molecule diffuses through the cell membrane without needing assistance Simple diffusion is basically the diffusion of Solutes that cross the membrane by simple diffusion tend to be hydrophobic Examples of substances that cross the membrane by simple diffusion are the gasses

Simple diffusion is the process by which solutes are moved along a concentration gradient in a solution or across a semipermeable membrane  Differentiate between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion? Ans: Hint: Simple diffusion is the movement of particles takes place along the direction
