Facilitated diffusion is a process of uphill transport?

Dear student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query

No, facilitated diffusion is not an uphill transport or active transport. It is a passive transport which occurs from higher to a lower concentration.
   
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which requires carrier proteins or protein channels to transport molecules or ions across a biological membrane from higher concentration to lower concentration.
