The rate of facilitated diffusion of a molecule across a membrane will increase as the concentration gradient of the molecule across the membrane increases to a certain point. eventually, an increase in the concentration of the molecule will not cause any further increase in facilitated diffusion. thus, there is a maximal rate of facilitated diffusion. this is because:
