What is facilitated diffusion?
The molecules moving accross the membrane through channel or carrier proteins
1 of 9
What molecules do this?
Large and polar or charged ions.
2 of 9
What is the net movement?
Down concentration gradient from high to low
3 of 9
What process is it and does it need energy?
Passive + no energy needed
4 of 9
What is water's channel protein called?
Aquaporin
5 of 9
What factors affect facilitated diffusion?
difference in concentration gradient + surface area+ diffusion pathway + number of proteins present + surface area of membrane proteins
6 of 9
What do carrier proteins carry?
Large poler molecules
7 of 9
What carries charged ions?
Channel proteins ( each ion has a specific protein)
8 of 9
What Fick's law?
(difference in concentration gradient x surface area) / diffusion pathway length
