(N/A)       Diffusion    Facilitated Diffusion        $1$. It is a passive process where substances move randomly from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.    $1$. It is a process where substances move across membranes with the help of special membrane proteins,even if they follow the concentration gradient.        $2$. It is a slow process and does not require any energy or specific transport proteins.    $2$. It is a faster process that is highly selective and requires specific membrane proteins (like porins or carrier proteins) to facilitate the movement of molecules.

Property	Simple Diffusion	Facilitated Transport	Active Transport
Requires special membrane proteins	No	$a$	Yes
Transport saturates	No	Yes	$b$
Uphill transport	$c$	No	Yes
Requires $ATP$ energy	No	No	$d$
