Facilitated diffusion involves the use of a protein to facilitate the movement of molecules across the membrane. In some cases, molecules pass through channels within the protein.

facilitated diffusion Mediated transport in which a permease makes possible diffusion of a molecule across a cell membrane in the direction of a concentration gradient; contrast with active transport.
