Facilitated diffusion is the movement a substance from high concentration to low concentration across a membrane through a transporter protein or channel
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
In Facilitated diffusion materials are transported across the plasma membrane without using up any energy. Plasma membranes is made up of phospholipid bilayers consisting of proteins which help in the transportation of larger materials.
Movement across a membrane that does require energy is called active transport.
Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to move a molecule across the cell membrane without energy.
Facilitated diffusion is a carrier-mediated form of transport across a membrane. The line-with-gaps model doesn't show the carrier proteins that are in the cell membrane. These proteins are what help facilitated diffusion occur.
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
Facilitated Diffusion is the movement of molecules across cell membranes through protein channels and carrier proteins.Facilitated diffusion is a passive transport process, aka no energy required, where substances move down their concentration gradient (high concentration to low concentration) across a protein through a membrane protein because it is unable to diffuse directly through the phospholipid portion of the membrane itself.Diffusion of molecules assisted by protein channels that pierce a cell membrane

osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell membrane
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.
"Passive" mean that it does not require energy, therefore the passive transport of material across the membrane means that it can transport the material (cells or whatever) without the function of energy across the membrane.
