Common for both simple and facilitated diffusion is:: (A) Can be blocked by specific inhibitors, (B) Follows Fick's Law, (C) Follows saturation kinetics, (D) Transpo along the concentration gradient
Answer is D. Common factor between Simple and Facilitated diffusion is that they both transpo solute along the concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion is a passive transpo mechanism that does not requires use of ATP and involves a carrier protein and it follows saturation kinetics. Fick's law of diffusion is followed by simple diffusion only..
