Facilitated diffusion is a form of facilitated transport involving the passive movement of molecules along their concentration gradient, guided by the presence of another molecule – usually an integral membrane protein forming a pore or channel.

All forms of diffusion are passive transport. In facilitated diffusion, molecules move down their concentration gradients. Molecules can move from either direction (inside to outside or outside to inside) of the cell, as long as the molecule is moving to an area of lower concentration. No energy is required for facilitated diffusion. It's just that, unlike in un-facilitated or simple diffusion, when molecules can cross a barrier by themselves, facilitated diffusion happens when molecules…
