Best Answer

Both facilitated transport and active transport require the substance that passes the membrane to pass through intermembrane proteins. However, unlike active transport, facilitated transport does not require ATP because it is not actively going against the concentration gradient.

What type of transport requires energy to move molecules from an area with low concentration to an area of high concentration?

Active transport is needed to move molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of higher concentration against their concentration gradient. ATP is used as the power source.


How is faciliated transport similar to simple diffusion?

Facilitated and simple diffusion both transport solutes along a concentration gradient and neither processes require any ATP expenditure.


What type of transport is faciliated diffusion?

Neither of these require energy. Diffusion occurs naturally when a higher concentration of a substance exists on one side of a membrane than the other; molecules will enter into the area of lesser concentration until there is an equilibrium on both sides. Active transport requires the energy of the cell.

Describe a form of active transport similar to the work of carrier proteins?

Molecules are moved through the cell membrane by active transport.


Why does active transport require more energy than osmosis or faciliated diffusion?

It is because during active transport, the molecules are being transported against and toward the concentration gradient whereas in diffusion, the molecules go from the concentration gradient.
