Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport where molecules move across the cell membrane through a specific protein channel. Therefore, the best choice is D - passive transport. Active transport requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while transverse and lateral diffusion refer to the movement of molecules within the lipid bilayer of the membrane, not across it.
