Without saturation of transport proteins and under same concentration gradient how can the speed of simple diffusion be compared to the speed of facilitated diffusion?



Without saturation of transport proteins and under same concentration gradient how can the speed of ..

Answer / Shweta Singh

This is because facilitated diffusion involves carrier proteins that can move the solute more efficiently than random Brownian motion in simple diffusion.
