Facilitated diffusion is a passive process where particles cross a semi-permeable membrane with the help of membrane proteins, such as channel or carrier proteins.
Facilitated diffusion is the diffusion across a partially permeable membrane with the assistance of membrane proteins (carrier/channel proteins), and it is a passive process.
