How does facilitated diffusion differ from simple diffusion?
Crossing a membrane by simple diffusion can be distinguished from facilitated diffusion because: Simple diffusion does not require energy: facilitated diffusion requires a source of ATP. Simple diffusion can only move material in the direction of a concentration gradient; facilitated diffusion moves materials with and against a concentration gradient.
