B
The esterification of an alcohol with a carboxylic acid
C
The transport of glucose across a cell membrane via a carrier protein

Verified step by step guidance1
Facilitated diffusion is a process of passive transport, with the help of transport proteins, across a cell membrane.
In organic chemistry, facilitated diffusion is not typically associated with chemical reactions but rather with the movement of molecules across biological membranes.
The conversion of an alkene to an alkane using hydrogen gas is a chemical reaction involving hydrogenation, not facilitated diffusion.
The esterification of an alcohol with a carboxylic acid is a chemical reaction that forms an ester, not related to facilitated diffusion.
The transport of glucose across a cell membrane via a carrier protein is an example of facilitated diffusion, as it involves the movement of glucose molecules across the membrane with the help of a protein.
