Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.
The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport (does not require energy). It is called facilitated diffusion because it utilises the carrier protein to diffuse through it. Active transport requires energy to pump certain big molecules to cross over and this uses transport protein. Basically, the difference is just the usage of energy.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane, and does not require the input of energy. Active transport requires energy input.
Facilitated diffusion and active transport are both methods of transporting molecules across the cell membrane. They both involve the use of specific carrier proteins to facilitate the movement of molecules. However, the key difference is that facilitated diffusion does not require energy input from the cell, while active transport does require energy in the form of ATP to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
both need transport protein
what is difference between communication and transport
Passive transport is a form of transport that does not require an input of energy. Examples include diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion. On the other hand, active transport is a form of transport that requires an input of energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This energy is required for processes such as moving molecules against the concentration gradient.
Active transport and facilitated diffusion are both mechanisms used by cells to move substances across the cell membrane. Both processes require the use of specific proteins embedded in the cell membrane to facilitate the movement of substances. However, the key difference between the two is that active transport requires energy input from the cell to move substances against their concentration gradient, while facilitated diffusion does not require energy and moves substances down their concentration gradient.
what is the difference between a diffusion and a dilution
osmosses is diffusion of water only
The difference between the two is that bulk motion is the flow through the capillary. Diffusion is the movement of the molecules in a fluid.Ê
One difference is energy consumption. Active transport requires the cell to expend energy, while passive transport does not. Active transport is movement from a lower concentration to a higher concentration and passive transport is movement from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane requiring energy to be expended by the cell. Passive transport is diffusion across a membrane requiring only random motion of molecules with no energy expanded by the cell. Active transport requires ATP to transport materials. Passive transport does not require ATP input to transport materials. Ex: diffusion
