Facilitated diffusion involves the movement of a substance like glucose from an area of high concentration, such as the bloodstream, to an area of low concentration, such as the intracellular space, through the use of a transport protein. Osmosis, active transport, and diffusion do not bring about the movement of glucose into body cells.
