facilitated diffusion
Carrier proteins can be involved in passive transport.
passive
No, enzymes are catalyst proteins.
Transport proteins such as ion channels and carrier proteins are used in both active and passive transport processes. Ion channels move ions down their concentration gradient through passive transport, while carrier proteins can facilitate passive transport by allowing molecules to move along their concentration gradient, or active transport by requiring energy to transport molecules against their concentration gradient.
Carrier proteins are sometimes used during passive transport.
Facilitated diffusion is a form of passive transport that involves membrane proteins to aid in the movement of substances across a cell membrane. The membrane proteins act as channels or carriers to facilitate the passage of specific molecules that cannot freely diffuse across the lipid bilayer. This process does not require energy input from the cell.

Proteins that carry out passive transport include channel proteins and carrier proteins. Passive transport is "passive" because it does not use energy. The use of passive transport is also called "facilitated diffusion." Proteins that carry out passive transport includes the proton pump and the sodium-potassium pump; these require energy to function.
The correct term for proteins helping transport molecules in and out of the cell is facilitated diffusion. This process involves the use of specific proteins that aid in the movement of molecules across the cell membrane, but it does not require energy input from the cell.
Active transport requires energy, unlike passive transport. The carrier proteins in active transport act as a "pump" ( fueled by ATP) to carry/attach themselfves to useful proteins for the cell.
