A passive process that requires a protein for the movement of a solute across a membrane is known as ____.
A)active transport
B)endocytosis
C)bulk flow
D)facilitated diffusion
E)osmosis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Facilitated diffusion involves the movement of a solute across a membrane, without using energy, but with the help of a protein channel or carrier. This is different from active transport, which requires energy, endocytosis, which is a process of engulfing material into the cell by forming a vesicle, bulk flow, which involves the movement of material due to pressure differences, and osmosis, which involves the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
