Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of facilitated diffusion: Facilitated diffusion is a passive transport mechanism where molecules move across cell membranes through protein channels or transport proteins without the need for energy input.

Recognize the role of concentration gradient: Facilitated diffusion relies on a concentration gradient, meaning molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Identify the involvement of protein channels and transport proteins: Facilitated diffusion can occur through protein channels or transport proteins, which help specific molecules or ions pass through the membrane.

Clarify the movement of ions: Facilitated diffusion can indeed move ions across membranes, as ions often require specific channels or carriers to traverse the lipid bilayer.

Evaluate the statement about ATP hydrolysis: Facilitated diffusion does not require the hydrolysis of ATP, as it is a passive process. ATP hydrolysis is associated with active transport, where energy is needed to move substances against their concentration gradient.
