    Membrane transport can occur through passive diffusion and filtration or specialized transport mechanisms. Specialized transport includes carrier transport, which can be facilitated diffusion that uses carrier proteins to move drugs across the membrane from higher to lower concentration without requiring energy. Facilitated diffusion involves drugs binding to carrier proteins that transport the drugs across the membrane down their concentration gradient.

    • Passive diffusion and filtration do not
    require help of other molecules
    • Drugs move across on their own
    • But facilitated diffusion, under carrier
    mediated transport, require the help of
    other molecules-Carrier proteins!
