A: Facilitated diffusion differs from simple diffusion in that it crosses a membrane with the aid of passive transport proteins embedded in the membrane. Both types of diffusion are the movement of particles in solution from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration.
II. The transport of molecules such as glucose from the side of higher to the side of lower concentration by means of membrane carriers is called facilitated diffusion. A. Like simple diffusion, this is passive transport, cellular energy is not required.. The rate of diffusion through a membrane is also directly proportional to the surface area of the membrane, which can be increased by such adaptations as microvilli. III. Simple diffusion is the type of passive transport in which small molecules and inorganic ions move through the cell membrane.
