Facilitated diffusion is necessary when cell membranes prevents a substance from diffusing on its own.

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport that involves movement of solute materials down the concentration gradient.

Further Explanation;Transport in living organismsPlants and animals use various processes to transport materials from one point to another.There are classified as either passive transport or active transport.Passive transportIt is a type of transport that does not involve the use of energy to aid movement of substances in living organisms.Passive transport involves free movement of substances and through special types of transporters or carriers.Types of passive transport includes; simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, and mass flow among others.Active transport It is a type of transport in living organisms that involves movement of substances against a concentration gradient and involves use of energy in form of ATP to aid transport of substances.Types of passive transportFacilitated diffusionFacilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which involves the diffusion of solutes by use of transport proteins in the plasma membrane.Facilitated diffusion uses transport proteins to transport solutes down their concentration gradient. Osmosis Osmosis is a special diffusion that involves the movement of water molecules from a region where they are highly concentrated to a region where they are lowly concentrated through a semipermeable membrane.It may also refer to the movement of water molecules from a region of low particle concentration to a region of a high particle concentration.Diffusion Diffusion is a type of passive transport that involves movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.Diffusion involves movement of molecules of substances other than water.

Chlorophyll is found in plant leaves and absorbs light from the sun to enable plants to perform photosynthesis. magnesium is an important component of chlorophyll. the concentration of magnesium ions is higher in the root-hair cells of plants than in the soil. which mechanism of ion uptake would best enable a plant to produce a steady supply of chlorophyll? osmosis diffusion passive transport active transport

Coat color in cats is determined by genes at several different loci. at one locus on the x chromosome, one allele (x ) encodes black fur and another allele (xo) encodes orange fur. females can be black (x x ), orange (xoxo), or a mixture of orange and black called tortoiseshell (x xo). males are either black (x y) or orange (xoy). bill has a female tortoiseshell cat named patches. one night, patches escapes from bill\'s house, spends the night out, and mates with a stray male. patches later gives birth to the following kittens: one orange male, one black male, two tortoiseshell females, and one orange female. what are the genotypes of patches, the stray male, and the kittens?
