Facilitated diffusion is the movement of molecules across the cell membrane via special transport proteins that are embedded within the cellular membrane.

There are two forms of carrier-mediated transport, active transport and facilitated diffusion.

From the cytosol, monosaccharides pass into the capillaries by simple or facilitated diffusion.

Membrane proteins (with the exception of channels - facilitated diffusion) are not involved in passive diffusion.

Facilitated diffusion is a passive process: The solutes move down the concentration gradient and don't use energy to move.

Facilitated diffusion is not a type of diffusion (thermal motion) but a type of transport process.

Facilitated diffusion is the spontaneous passage of molecules or ions across a biological membrane passing through specific transmembrane integral proteins.

Instead a muscular pharynx leads to an extensively branched digestive system that facilitates direct diffusion of nutrients to all cells.

Channels perform passive transport of materials also known as facilitated diffusion.

Facilitated diffusion is the passage of molecules or ions across a biological membrane through specific carrier proteins and requires no energy input.
