No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.


In what ways are active transport and facilitated diffusion similar?

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.

What does active transport and facilitated diffusion have in common?

Both active transport and facilitated diffusion are methods of moving substances across cell membranes. Active transport requires energy input to move substances against their concentration gradient, while facilitated diffusion does not require energy and moves substances along their concentration gradient with the help of transport proteins.


Is facilitated diffusion an active transport?

no it is not because it does not require the use of ATP

In what process are carrier proteins important?

Carrier proteins is important in facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion transports molecules from one area of higher concentration on one side of the membrane to an area of lower concentration on the other side .Because the molecules are moving down their concentration gradient , facilitated diffusion is passive transport.
