Small, non-polar molecules like oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water can diffuse through the cell membrane without the need for a channel protein. Their small size and non-polar nature allow them to passively pass through the lipid bilayer of the 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.
Yes, facilitated diffusion requires a carrier or channel protein for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane.
A protein gate is a pathway through a protein molecule on the plasma membrane in which ions and small molecules can diffuse in or out of a cell.
Water-soluble molecules diffuse through the cell membrane by passing through protein channels or transporters that are embedded in the membrane. These channels and transporters allow the molecules to move across the membrane, from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, without requiring energy.

so molecules can use protein channel to cross a cell membrane-cleo
channel or transport or receptor
Molecules that are charged or polar, such as ions, glucose, and amino acids, diffuse through cell membranes by facilitated diffusion. This process relies on carrier proteins or channel proteins to help facilitate the movement of these molecules across the membrane.

Small non-polar molecules may pass through a a semipermeable membrane but others require a protein channel.
