No.
Diffusion is a passive process. This means that it carries on without any energy being supplied, except for the energy that all atoms have at temperatures above absolute zero (zero degrees Kelvin).
If you leave a lump of sugar in a cup tea for a few months, it will dissolve and then spread through the tea by diffusion. No cells needed. But it's quicker to buy a teaspoon!
Passive transport processes, such as simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion, do not require energy input from the cell. These processes rely on the movement of molecules along a concentration gradient, from an area of high concentration to low concentration.

facilitated diffusion
No, diffusion and osmosis are passive transport processes that do not require energy input from the cell. Active transport, on the other hand, requires the cell to use energy to move molecules across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient.
Active transport and facilitated diffusion are similar in that they both involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane, but they differ in that active transport requires energy input from the cell, while facilitated diffusion does not.

The passive ones, like diffusion
It does not require the use of the cells energy.
facilitated diffusion
Passive transport. This process allows molecules to move across the cell membrane without the use of energy. It includes simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis.
Diffusion is when small molecules move in and out of a cell. This process requires no energy aka passive transport!(:
facilitated diffusion
Facilitated diffusion
No, diffusion and osmosis are passive transport processes that do not require energy input from the cell. Active transport, on the other hand, requires the cell to use energy to move molecules across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient.
Active transport and facilitated diffusion are similar in that they both involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane, but they differ in that active transport requires energy input from the cell, while facilitated diffusion does not.
No, facilitated diffusion does not require the use of cellular energy (ATP). It relies on membrane transport proteins to help move molecules across the cell membrane with the concentration gradient, without needing energy input from the cell.
Facilitated diffusion requires the presence of specific carrier proteins embedded in the cell membrane to help transport molecules across the membrane. These carrier proteins assist in the movement of molecules down their concentration gradient without requiring energy input from the cell.
