They are two major active transport proteins.
A carrier protein (as opposed to a channel protein). An example of a carrier protein is the Na+/K+ pump.
Active transport
Active transport does require a carrier protein. Each protein is specific to one particular molecule.
It is a carrier protein
Carrier Protein
A carrier protein (as opposed to a channel protein). An example of a carrier protein is the Na+/K+ pump.
In primary active transport, the transport protein gets phosphorylated; in secondary active transport, the transport protein is not phosphorylated
They are the channels by which molecules enter in facilitated diffusion.
It's either a passive or active transport.

Facilitated diffusion is passive transport as no energy is used, and a protein channel is all that's required. After that it is simple diffusion down a concentration gradient. Anything with the word diffusion in it is passive transport. Diffusion is just the principle of passive transport.
Active transport requires the use of ATP because in active transport things move against the concentration gradient. Usually there is a protien pump (which is a form of a transport protien) that does this.
active transport
Carrier proteins can use active or passive transport depending on what type of carrier protein it is (meaning what the protein transports). The form of passive transport that they use is facilitated diffusion. An example of active transport is the Sodium Potassium pump. Active transport requires ATP. Facilitated diffusion is used to transport polar molecules and ions that cannot directly cross the cell membrane. Facilitated diffusion doesn't require energy.
A protein channel is a transport protein that helps larger molecules, that would otherwise not be able to defuse throw the membrane of a cell, to move in or out of the cell depending on the concentration gradient.
