if you mean that active transport is an act of diffusion, than yes it is.

Is sugar osmosis or passive transport or active transport?

Sugar transport can occur through both passive transport, such as facilitated diffusion or simple diffusion, and active transport, such as primary or secondary active transport processes. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane, so sugar transport itself is not osmosis.


Three ways that substances can move into and out of a cell?

Substances can move into and out of a cell through passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. In passive diffusion, molecules move from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Facilitated diffusion involves the use of carrier proteins to help molecules pass through the cell membrane. Active transport requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.


Is used during active transport but not passive transport?

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is used during active transport but not passive transport. Active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient, while passive transport relies on diffusion to move substances down their concentration gradient without the need for energy.


Moving substances from a lower concentration to a higher concentration requires . passive diffusion facilitated diffusion active transport pinocytosis?

Active transport. This process uses energy to pump substances against their concentration gradient, allowing them to move from areas of lower concentration to higher concentration.


Does diffusion and active transport use oxygen?

Diffusion does not require energy and can occur without the need for oxygen. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy in the form of ATP and does not directly involve the use of oxygen, although oxygen is essential for producing ATP through cellular respiration.

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.

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.
