Which of the following criteria does not pertain to facilitated transport?
Uphill transport
Requirement of special membrane proteins
High selectivity
Transport saturation
As we learnt in
Faciliated diffusion -
Movement of particles along concentration gradient, mediated by a carrier
- wherein
Passive transport, no energy is required
Facilitated diffusion is a downhill transport.

Option 2)
Requirement of special membrane proteins
Incorrect
Option 3)
High selectivity
Incorrect
Option 4)
Transport saturation
