There are two types of diffusion. Facilitated and non facilitated. Diffusion occurs when there is a concentration gradient. That is, when an area has more concentration than the other area. Diffusion is used to transfer particles from one place to another.
Active transport is used to transfer particles, usually occurring against a concentration gradient. Active transport requires energy to occur however, diffusion does not.

∙ 9y agoDiffusion and active transport are ways by which materials are transported in the cell. Diffusion differs from active transport because it does not use energy, whereas active transport utilizes energy in the form of ATP.

∙ 15y agodiffusion is the spread of something moving with the concentration gradient. active transport is where the movement requires energy like moving a carbohydrate into a cell. you need to use a transmembrane protein and ATP.

∙ 11y agoDiffusion: When the molecules are highly concentrated at part and lower concentrated at another part they move from high concentration to low concentration besides it`s a physical process.
Active transport: Passage of ions or other thing from low concentration to high concentration against concentration gradients and it`s chemical process needs energy.

What is it called when materials move from lower to higher concentration?
Specifically Diffusion, but it is also active transport
How is diffusion different from active transport?
active transport is different from diffusion. active transport has to do with the movement of chemical substance through a gradient of concentration. diffusion has to do with requiring the expenditure of energy
What processes can take place in a root hair cell when oxygen is not available?
active transport and osmosis
Does active transport rely on the process of diffusion?
Yes except, diffusion is a passive process (no energy is required) whereas active transport requires energy. this is because it is moving UP then concentration gradient whereas diffusion moves DOWN it
A cell moves particles from a region of lesser concentration to a region of greater concentration by what?
The process in which particles move from high to low concentration is called diffusion .
How is active transport different than simple and facilitated diffusion?
simple and facilitated diffusion don't require energy and are forms of passive transport. Active transport requires energy
What is it called when materials move from lower to higher concentration?
Specifically Diffusion, but it is also active transport
Is diffusion an act of active transport?
if you mean that active transport is an act of diffusion, than yes it is.
What is the way the active transport differs from diffusion?
Active transport uses energy while diffusion does not
How is facilitated diffusion different from avtive transport?
Active transport requires energy in the form of ATP.
How is the active transport different from diffusion?
The main difference is that diffusion does not require energy and active transport does require energy. Just for the record diffusion has a concentration that moves from high to low, and active transport has a concentration that moves from low to high. (Hope this helps to answer your question!)

active transport and osmosis
Is diffusion through ion channels a form of active transport?
Facilitated diffusion, or diffusion through ion channels, is not a form of active transport. It is a spontaneous passive transport.
Are osmotically active substances simple diffusion or active transport?
simple diffusion.
What are the different kind of cell transfort?
Active transport Passive transport (diffusion and transport using protein channels) Receptor mediated transport
What are Vesicle mediated transport is a type of?
facilitated diffusion, secondary active transport and active transport
