Facilitated diffusion uses carrier proteins to move water-soluble and large or charged molecules across the membrane, employing channel proteins for charged particles and carrier proteins for larger molecules.
A difusão facilitada utiliza proteínas transportadoras para mover moléculas solúveis em água e moléculas grandes ou carregadas através da membrana, usando proteínas de canal para partículas carregadas e proteínas transportadoras para moléculas maiores.
