Glucose and polypeptides.
A concentration gradient exists that would allow ions and polar molecules to diffuse into the cell, but these materials are repelled by the hydrophobic parts of the cell membrane. Facilitated diffusion uses integral membrane proteins to move polar or charged substances across the hydrophobic regions of the membrane.
Facilitated diffusion requires energy. This is because facilitated diffusion is the transfer of molecules from a lower concentration to a higher concentration.membrain pouch
The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.
Diffusion or if the molecules are too large they go through the transport proteins.
Simple diffusion allows non-polar molecules to pass through and a little amount of H20. On the other hand, Facilitated diffusion allows ions and polar molecules across the membrane because it contains carrier proteins. It is highly specific to substances it diffuses across the membrane.
A semipermeable membrane is a large glucose molecule that requires facilitated diffusion but an oxygen molecule does not.
its false, facilitated diffusion would be used on small molecules

Facilitated diffusion is a type of diffusion specifically for larger molecules, to help them cross a selectively permeable membrane with the help of integral proteins that act as carriers. Facilitated diffusion is a passive process, i.e. it does not need energy/ATP.

It doesn't. (answer by RRU member Cyrem)
Facilitated diffusion is a process whereby a substance passes through a membrane with a aid of an intermediary or a facilitator. The facilitator is an integral membrane protein that spans the width of the membrane. The force that drives the molecule from one side of the membrane to the other is the force of diffusion. and Diffusion is the process of movement of a substance from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration so as to spread uniformly. Difference : Facilitated diffusion is when polar or charged molecules cross the cell membrane through a trans membrane channel protein. Diffusion is when small, non-polar molecules cross the cell membrane directly through the lipid bilayer. they can do so as they are hydrophobic and hence can pass through the hydrophobic core of the lipid bilayer. crossing the lipid bilayer is difficult for charged/polar particles as they are hydrophilic and large (as they may have hydration shells due to their charged nature), hence they have to cross through transport proteins.

The process the cell must use to allow the protein to enter is rather simple and uncomplicated. The cell uses the process of osmosis and diffusion along a concentration gradient to allow for passage in and out of the cell.
