No.diffusion and active transports are two different biological processes.diffusion us the movement of particles from one place of high concentration to a place of lower concentration while active transport is the movement of particles acrooss cell membranes against a concentration gradient and this normally requires the expenditure of energy.
What else can I help you with?
What is the way the active transport differs from diffusion?
Active transport uses energy while diffusion does not
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 Vesicle mediated transport is a type of?
facilitated diffusion, secondary active transport and active transport
Is diffusion an example of active transport or passive transport?
Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).
What is the main way that active transport differs diffusion?
ATP is required for active transport.
Is diffusion and osmosis both active transport?
no they are 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 is it called when materials move from lower to higher concentration?
Specifically Diffusion, but it is also active transport
Is facilitated diffusion active?
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
Is diffusion an act of active transport?
No, diffusion is not an act of active transport. Diffusion is a passive process where molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, without the input of energy. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
How does diffusion take place in the body?
P.I.S.O.- Potassium in Sodium out facilitated diffusion, active transport , and passive transport and simple diffusion.
