to move these substances into or out of the cell. There is another kind of passive transport called facilitated diffusion. In facilitated diffusion, proteins in the cell membrane form pores which allo ... e of particles from a region of greater concentration to a region of lesser concentration is called facilitated diffusion. The proteins involved in facilitated diffusion are called permease. It is thr ...

Cell transport
ed inside themselves by transport across their cell membrane. Three types of transport are osmosis, facilitated diffusion, and endocytosis/exocytosis.Osmosis is how cells obtain water, which is what c ... ricts its growth. This causes the cell to become hard and rigid which makes the plant stand up tall.Facilitated diffusion is another method cells use to obtain things it needs. Facilitated diffusion i ...
