They are the channels by which molecules enter in facilitated diffusion.
Diffusion carried out by protein channel is termed channel mediated diffusionRead more http://www.kgbanswers.com/what-is-channel-mediated-diffusion/4450816#ixzz1EANNtr00
Yes, facilitated diffusion requires a carrier or channel protein for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane.
Facilitated diffusion occurs through a protein channel by allowing specific molecules to pass through the cell membrane with the help of a protein channel. The protein channel acts as a tunnel that facilitates the movement of molecules that are too large or polar to pass through the membrane on their own. The molecules bind to the protein channel, which changes shape to allow them to pass through, ultimately helping them move across the membrane.
when a protein channel allows molecules to cross through the cell membrane this is called facilitated diffusion. many might mistake this for diffusion which is the process by which molecules tend to move from an area where they are more concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated.
This is correct. Glucose, being a large molecule, requires a protein channel called a glucose transporter to facilitate its passage through the cell membrane. Glucose transporters assist in transporting glucose molecules across the hydrophobic lipid bilayer of the cell membrane.

It is an integral protein that acts as a channel.

so molecules can use protein channel to cross a cell membrane-cleo

No.
Diffusion, facilitated diffusion, Osmosis and Active Transport. Diffusion moves non-polar molecules across the cell membrane down a concentration gradient. Osmosis moves water across the cell membrane through a channel formed by aquaporins called a protein channel, down the water potential gradient. Active moves the non-polar molecules against the concentration gradient, in contrast to diffusion. Lastly, facilitated diffusion moves polar molecules across the cell membrane through creating protein channels in the cell membrane from specific proteins. ETC, glucose transporters bind to form a protein channel for glucose to diffuse through, after which the proteins disperse. That should be all, hope it was of help!
In the facilitated diffusion the transport protein is needed as well in the active transport.
The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.
