Question

In biological systems, an ACTIVE transport process is one in which an important chemical component is moved from where it is __________ in concentration, to where it is ___________ in concentration. 

Meanwhile, a PASSIVE transport (or diffusion) process is one in which an important chemical component moves from where it is ____________ in concentration to where it is __________ in concentration.

Of the two above processes,  transport does not require energy to occur.

A FACILITATED transport process is a form of ______________ transport, where an important chemical component moves with the aid of a channel or similar structure.  According to the course lectures, Zoom sessions, course lecture notes, and/or assigned course readings, one specific example of a facilitated transport structure in the cell membrane is _____________  , which aids in the movement of a particular chemical component called __________ .
