Enzymatic chemical reactions

Question

How does facilitated diffusion show similarities with the enzymatic chemical reactions?

Answer 1

One of the major illustrations of facilitated transport is the entrance of glucose from blood into cells. Glucose from blood joins to particular permeases (hexose-transporting permeases) existed in the cell membrane and by diffusion facilitated by such proteins it enters the cell to perform its metabolic functions.

Facilitated diffusion looks like chemical catalysis since the transported substances bind to permeases similar to substrates join to enzymes and in addition, after one transport job is concluded, the permease is not consumed and can execute other successive transports.
