a small polar molecule enters a cell with help from a membrane protein. No addistional energy is needed to complete this process. What type of transport is this

Facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion is a form of passive transport across the plasma membrane (therefore needs no external energy source), that allows polar or larger molecules that usually couldn't diffuse across the membrane to do so.
