During facilitated diffusion by carrier proteins, when solute concentrations are low, increasing the solute concentration causes a linear increase in the rate of diffusion. However, at high solute concentrations, further increases in the solute concentration no longer increase the rate of diffusion. This means that carrier proteins exhibit ______.

Answer :

The phenomenon that the carrier proteins have exhibited in the process described above is: Saturation.

What is Saturation?

Saturation of a solution occurs when further addition of a solute does not result in its dissolution.

This is what happens with the carrier protein above. Further addition of the solute did not cause an increase in the rate of diffusion.
