Does diffusion depend on random molecular movements?

• Yes

• No

What happens in facilitated diffusion

• molecules fuse together

• molecules are destroyed

• molecules that cannot directly diffuse across the membrane pass through special protein channels

• all molecules pass through special protein channels

Facilitated diffusion uses the cell's energy.

• true

• false
