Passive transporter, is a protein intergral within the membrane that allows ions or molecules to pass through the membrane without using energy/ATP. The molecule or ion will move down it's concentration gradient by facillitated diffusion. Each transporter is usually only specific to one molecule or a group of molecules with similar structures[1].
