Answer:

The cells specialized in passive diffusion have a greater amount of membrane structures called transport proteins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Facilitated diffusion is a transmembrane transport mechanism, which consists of the passage of substances through the cell membrane by means of a transporter.This process does not require energy, as it is a passive transport, and depends on an ionic gradient or concentration.

The carriers of facilitated diffusion can be integral membrane proteins, so a cell specialized in this type of transport must have abundant transport proteins.
