The incorrect statement for facilitated diffusion is:

1. Special proteins help move substances across membranes without the expenditure of energy.

2. Can cause net transport of molecules from a low to a high concentration.

3. It is very specific, it allows cells to select substances for uptake.

4. Transport rate reaches a maximum when all of the protein transporters are being used.
