Question

Choose the INCORRECT statement related to facilitated diffusion in plants.

• A. Requires special membrane proteins
• B. It is highly selective
• C. Requires ATP energy
• D. Transport rate reaches saturation

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Requires ATP energy

• Facilitated diffusion is the passive movement of molecules along the concentration gradient.

• It is a selective process, i.e., the membrane allows only selective molecules and ions to pass through it. It, however, prevents other molecules from passing through the membrane.
