Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
Diffusion directly passes through the cell membrane unaffected by the hydrophobic part of the membrane. Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to assist in the movement of molecules. Ions have trouble moving through the hydrophobic part of the membrane.
Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to move a molecule across the cell membrane without energy.
It does not require the use of the cells energy.
Facilitated diffusion is the process by which glucose can pass through a cell membrane by combining with special carrier molecules.

Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to move a molecule across the cell membrane without energy.
Facilitated diffusion is diffusion that occurs not through the cell membrane directly but through protein channels within the cell membrane. They are often, although not always, substrate specific.
