facilitated difussion in cell membrane, showing ion channels and carrier proteins Facilitated diffusion (or facilitated transport) is a process of diffusion, a form of passive transport, where molecules diffuse across membranes, with the assistance of transport proteins. ... Passive transport is a means of moving biochemicals, and other atomic or molecular substances, across membranes. ... A membrane transport protein is a protein involved in the movement of a chemical such as an ion or another protein across a biological membrane. ...
