The **carrier proteins **that help in **facilitated diffusion **are **Integral **proteins. The correct option is B.
What is diffusion?
**Diffusion **is a process of transport of small molecules and particles from a semifinal membrane .
**Diffusion **is a transport process that transports the material from high concentration to lower concentration . It does not increase the need for energy because it transfers particles along the concentration gradient.
Integral proteins are proteins that are present in the cell membrane. The constituted cell membrane. They are small channel-like substances present in the cell, they help in the process of **diffusion **and if you can particles outside and inside the cell.
They are always present in the cell membrane , whereas peripheral **proteins **are the proteins that are partially present in.
Thus, the correct option is **B. Integral. **

The correct answer is B. Integral. Integral proteins are essential for facilitated diffusion as they allow specific molecules to cross the cell membrane without using energy. They span across the membrane and provide a pathway for substances that cannot easily pass through the lipid bilayer.
