I was looking up facilitated transport and it redirected here. I'm not very knowledgeable of diffusion, so I was wondering if this statement I read an article on lactic acid could be of potential supplement to this article.

'Lactic acid- in contrast to glucose and other fuels- is smaller and better exchanged between tissues. It moves across cell membranes by a rapid process called facilitated transport. Other fuels need slower carrier systems such as insulin.

Please respond with your thoughts. Tyciol 17:32, 17 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

[[See the last paragraph with Glucose: perhaps it applies here. --♦♦♦Vlmastra♦♦♦ 00:35, 17 September 2007]] (UTC)

== In the glucose section it references glucose being transported against its concentration gradient, this would be more appropriate in a secondary active transport page than a facilitated diffusion page, since facilitated diffusion by definitions doesn't require energy.
