Facilitated diffusion

Vedclass · Answer

(C) Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport that requires specific membrane proteins to move molecules across the cell membrane.These proteins,known as carrier proteins,bind to the specific solute molecule.Upon binding,the carrier protein undergoes a conformational change (a change in its three-dimensional shape) to release the molecule on the other side of the membrane.Simple diffusion and osmosis do not involve such protein-mediated conformational changes,and plasmolysis is a phenomenon resulting from osmotic water loss.
