resting potential
No, diffusion of molecules across a cell membrane is a passive process, not active, and arguably the least complex.
Active transport requires energy and proteins to move the materials across the cell membrane. This is in contrast to osmosis, which doesn't require energy to move the material.

Active transport requires energy and proteins to move the materials across the cell membrane. This is in contrast to osmosis, which doesn't require energy to move the material.
All active transportation of ions would stop and ions would be allowed to run down their concentration gradients, eventually reaching equilibrium. At this stage there would be no more electrochemical potential difference across the cell membrane.
Active transportation is the material that across plasma membrane. This makes it flow one way.
Movement across a membrane that does require energy is called active transport.
