Facilitated diffusion is diffusion that occurs not through the cell membrane directly but through protein channels within the cell membrane. They are often, although not always, substrate specific.
Facilitated diffusion
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins
Diffusion occurs on the cell membrane.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a membrane (semipermeable) membrane. Water always moves from a high concentration of water to a low concentration of water.
diffusion. osmosis is when it is water. and water only.
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins
Diffusion directly passes through the cell membrane unaffected by the hydrophobic part of the membrane. Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to assist in the movement of molecules. Ions have trouble moving through the hydrophobic part of the membrane.

The rate of diffusion through a semipermeable membrane will be lowest when temperatures are low. Lower temperatures decrease the energy of the molecules, which in turn decreases the rate of diffusion.
Facilitated diffusion requires the presence of membrane channels or transporters to move molecules across the membrane. Osmosis, on the other hand, does not require membrane channels as it involves the passive movement of water molecules through the lipid bilayer of the membrane.
