Facilitated diffusion is the process by which molecules move across the plasma membrane with the aid of membrane proteins like channels and carriers. These molecules move down a concentration gradient, which gives them the potential to diffuse into (or out of) the cell.
Passive transport is a subset of facilitated diffusion. Because the solution is travelling down the concentration gradient, assisted diffusion is still passive transport even when it incorporates transport proteins. The cell membrane can easily be traversed by small, nonpolar substances.image outcome.A case of enhanced diffusion is glucose transfer. The lipid bilayer of the membrane prevents glucose from passing through since it is a big, polar molecule. In order to pass through, it requires carriers known as glucose transporters.

Orientation behaviors usually determine the type of environment that an animal will prefer to live. Animal orientation behavior is a complex process which determine how an animal receives information from the external world and how it responds to it.
