Active transpo and facilitated diffusion share which of the following characteristic:
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.
Competitive inhibition does not occur
Requires non-specific carrier protein
Transpo solute against concentration gradient
Follows Michaelis Menten kinetics
