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.
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.
Facilitated and simple diffusion both transport solutes along a concentration gradient and neither processes require any ATP expenditure.
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.
fatty acids membranes
Active transport and facilitated diffusion are similar in that they both involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane, but they differ in that active transport requires energy input from the cell, while facilitated diffusion does not.

Active Transport is carried out in our body cells. Active Transport uses energy to transport materials.
Active transport requires energy, typically in the form of ATP, to move molecules across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion, while it still uses membrane proteins to transport molecules, does not require energy as it follows the concentration gradient. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration, also not requiring energy.
it is an ACTIVE transport.
It has is in the name. Active Transport
Active transport
Reverse osmosis is a form of active transport where water molecules are pushed through a semipermeable membrane against their concentration gradient, similar to how active transport uses energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Both processes require an input of energy to move molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration.
