Active transpo and facilitated diffusion share which of the following characteristic:: (A) Competitive inhibition does not occur, (B) Requires non-specific carrier protein, (C) Transpo solute against concentration gradient, (D) Follows Michaelis Menten kinetics
Answer is D. Active transpo and facilitated diffusion both are carrier mediated transpo exhibits saturation kinetics or Michaelis Menten kinetics, specificity (i.e; specific carrier protein is required to transpo specific solute across the plasma membrane) and competitive inhibition. Facilitated diffusion is passive transpo and does not requires ATP.
