Detailed explanation-1: -Facilitated diffusion therefore allows polar and charged molecules, such as carbohydrates, amino acids, nucleosides, and ions, to cross the plasma membrane. Two classes of proteins that mediate facilitated diffusion are generally distinguished: carrier proteins and channel proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -All channel proteins and many carrier proteins allow solutes to cross the membrane only passively (“downhill”), a process called passive transport, or facilitated diffusion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion is a process by which solutes diffuse across membranes that they wouldn’t normally get through on their own. They pass through with the aid of transport proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -In facilitated diffusion, molecules diffuse across the plasma membrane with assistance from membrane proteins, such as channels and carriers.
