A: Facilitated diffusion differs from simple diffusion in that it crosses a membrane with the aid of passive transport proteins embedded in the membrane. Both types of diffusion are the movement of particles in solution from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration.
Facilitated diffusion (also known as facilitated transport or passive-mediated transport) is the process of spontaneous passive transport (as opposed to active transport) of molecules or ions across a biological membrane via specific transmembrane integral proteins.olar molecules and large ions dissolved in water cannot diffuse freely across the plasma membrane due to the hydrophobic nature of the fatty acid tails of the phospholipids that make up the lipid bilayer. Only small, non-polar molecules, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, can diffuse easily across the membrane.
