Aform of diffusion in which the molecules move from greater to lower concentration and pass through a protein carrier in the membrane instead of between the phospholipids

In facilitated diffusion, molecules diffuse across the plasma membrane with assistance from membrane proteins, such as channels and carriers. A concentration gradient exists for these molecules, so they have the potential to diffuse into (or out of) the cell by moving down it.

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!
