They both transport substances up their concentration gradients.
The carrier proteins that aid in facilitated diffusion are integral membrane proteins. These proteins are embedded within the cell membrane and undergo conformational changes to transport molecules across the membrane.
Integral proteins.
Channel proteins and carrier proteins are responsible for facilitated diffusion. Channel proteins form hydrophilic channels that allow specific ions or molecules to pass through the membrane, while carrier proteins undergo conformational changes to transport molecules across the membrane.
facilitated diffusion.
Carrier proteins is important in facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion transports molecules from one area of higher concentration on one side of the membrane to an area of lower concentration on the other side .Because the molecules are moving down their concentration gradient , facilitated diffusion is passive transport.
Facilitated Diffusion
Facilitated diffusion involves the use of integral membrane proteins known as carrier proteins or channel proteins to help transport specific molecules across the cell membrane. These proteins provide a pathway for the molecules to cross the lipid bilayer more efficiently than simple diffusion.

Facilitated diffusion depends on specific carrier proteins located in the cell membrane that help transport molecules across the membrane. These carrier proteins are selective and facilitate the movement of specific molecules based on their size, shape, and charge. Additionally, facilitated diffusion relies on the concentration gradient of the molecules to drive their movement across the membrane.
Facilitated diffusion is a passive transport process where molecules move across a cell membrane with the help of specific carrier proteins. These carrier proteins are present in the membrane and assist in the movement of molecules like sugars and amino acids down their concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion occurs in the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane.
The process by which glucose can pass through a cell membrane by combining with special carrier molecules is called facilitated diffusion. In this process, carrier proteins aid in the movement of glucose across the membrane down its concentration gradient.
Facilitated diffusion involves the use of carrier proteins to move specific molecules across the cell membrane, while simple diffusion does not require proteins and involves the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Facilitated diffusion is selective and allows for faster transport of specific molecules that may be too large or polar to diffuse freely through the membrane.
