Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.

facilitated diffusion
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which does not require the cell to expend energy.

the cell
Osmosis is an example of passive transport, specifically a type of facilitated diffusion. In osmosis, water molecules move across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the use of energy.
Yes, facilitated diffusion is an example of passive transport. The cell does not expend any energy; integral proteins in the cell's surface membrane act as carriers.
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
The glucose transporter that is activated by insulin (glut 4) is a prime example.

No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.
Facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins
Facilitated diffusion does not require the use of energy.
