[edit]
I was looking up facilitated transport and it redirected here. I'm not very knowledgeable of diffusion, so I was wondering if this statement I read an article on lactic acid could be of potential supplement to this article.
'Lactic acid- in contrast to glucose and other fuels- is smaller and better exchanged between tissues. It moves across cell membranes by a rapid process called facilitated transport. Other fuels need slower carrier systems such as insulin.

== In the glucose section it references glucose being transported against its concentration gradient, this would be more appropriate in a secondary active transport page than a facilitated diffusion page, since facilitated diffusion by definitions doesn't require energy.
