For diffusion to occur there needs to be a concentration gradient. Which means that the concentrations on the two sides must be different. In diffusion the particles flow from high concentration to low concentration.
For passive diffusion, a concentration gradient which uses pore proteins. For active diffusion, carrier proteins and energy are required.
They want to be a equilibrium (have the same concentration both inside and outside the semi-permeable membrane). Therefore they will move from a higher concentration to a lower in an effort to gain equilibrium. This does not require energy, unlike active transport.
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration. Active transport is the movement of substances from lower to higher concentration across a semi permeable membrane that must have a specific protein carrier and cell expenditure of energy.
There are multiple ways for cells to transport things across a difference in concentration. The most common process is diffusion, which is the movement from high concentration to low. Osmosis is the most popular example of this. Facilitated Diffusion is basically diffusion with the use of proteins that are specified for certain molecules. Active Transport is the method by which molecules are transported from low concentration to high concentration.
When the concentration gradient is 0, no flow is allowed to go through the cell wall. To get motion through a membrane, the concentration gradient must be higher than 0.

Active transport which requires ATP.
The process of moving materials against a concentration gradient is called active transport. Active transport generally uses a protein pump to move molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration; in order to perform an active transport, the cell must use some of its energy to initiate the reaction.
For passive diffusion, a concentration gradient which uses pore proteins. For active diffusion, carrier proteins and energy are required.

Diffusion occurs when a substance moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This will happen naturarally without disruption, But is more common (and will happen faster) in a warm environment.
Active transport is when cells must move materials in a direction against a concentration gradient. Proteins transporting molecules across cell membranes is an example. Active transport requires energy as opposed to passive transport
The process the cell must use to allow the protein to enter is rather simple and uncomplicated. The cell uses the process of osmosis and diffusion along a concentration gradient to allow for passage in and out of the cell.
