The Rate of Facilitated Diffusion of a Molecule Across a Membrane

question 34

Multiple Choice

The rate of facilitated diffusion of a molecule across a membrane will increase as the concentration gradient of the molecule across the membrane increases to a certain point. Eventually, an increase in the concentration of the molecule will not cause any further increase in facilitated diffusion. Thus, there is a maximal rate of facilitated diffusion. This is because

• A) there are a limited number of carrier proteins in the membrane.
• B) facilitated diffusion requires ATP energy.
• C) as the concentration gradient increases, molecules interfere with one another.
• D) the diffusion constant depends on the concentration gradient.
• E) the increased concentration gradient causes a situation far from equilibrium.
