Facilitated diffusion uses transport proteins.

Recorded sources
9 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Facilitated diffusion uses transport proteins?

Yes. Multiple reference and textbook sources state directly that facilitated diffusion uses transport proteins, and a Wikipedia article describes it as passive transport via specific transmembrane integral proteins.
