The type of transport that allows an ion to enter a cell without using energy is called facilitated diffusion. In this process, specific proteins, known as channel or carrier proteins, help ions cross the cell membrane along their concentration gradient. Since it moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, it does not require ATP or other forms of energy.
