Facilitated diffusion depends on:
A)the cholesterol in the cell membrane
B)transporters that are part of the cell membrane
C)the Golgi apparatus within the cell
D)the endoplasmic reticulum within the cell

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Facilitated diffusion relies on transporters or carrier proteins that are present in the cell membrane. These proteins help in the movement of specific molecules or ions across the membrane, from the side where they are more concentrated to the side where they are less concentrated, without requiring any energy input from the cell. The other options listed (cholesterol, Golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum) are not directly involved in facilitated diffusion.
