Q. Which statement can be shared by facilitated diffusion and active transport?
A) Both need carrier transporter, which are sensitive to inhibitors that reacts with protein side chains
B) Energy is required by both the processes
C) No energy expenditure in these processes
D) Both use carbohydrates to move molecules across the membrane
Explanation
In both, facilitated diffusion and active transport, there is an involvement of carrier transporter or transporter proteins. These are highly specific enzymes and shows sensitivity to inhibitors
