Yes, facilitated diffusion is an example of passive transport. The cell does not expend any energy; integral proteins in the cell's surface membrane act as carriers.

Diffusion Facilitated Diffusion Osmosis
Osmosis is an example of passive transport, specifically a type of facilitated diffusion. In osmosis, water molecules move across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the use of energy.

The glucose transporter that is activated by insulin (glut 4) is a prime example.

No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
passive
Passive transport includes diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis.
No, facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport where molecules move across a cell membrane with the help of transport proteins. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
