Common for both simple and facilitated diffusion is:
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..
Can be blocked by specific inhibitors
Follows Fick's Law
