Diffusion occurs only due to the concentration gradient i.e. slovent move from its high concentration to low concentration side, where as active transport also take use of energy mostly in the form of ATP in living beings and can occur against concentration gradient.

What id the difference between active and passive transport?
Active transport requires ATP and passive transport does not. Active transport goes against the concentration gradient and passive transport goes with the concentration gradient and includes osmosis, diffusion and facilitated diffusion.
What is it called when materials move from lower to higher concentration?
Specifically Diffusion, but it is also active transport
What processes can take place in a root hair cell when oxygen is not available?
active transport and osmosis
What is the difference between diffusion and active transport?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration and active transport is the movement of molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration
What is the differences between simple and active diffusion?
Simple diffusion goes with a concentration gradient and does not use ATP where active transport uses ATP to go against a concentration gradient.
Differences between active transport and facilitated diffusion?
i don't know i need help pleas?

What id the difference between active and passive transport?

What is the way the active transport differs from diffusion?
Active transport uses energy while diffusion does not
Is diffusion an act of active transport?
if you mean that active transport is an act of diffusion, than yes it is.
What is a major difference between facilitate diffusion and active transport?
Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.
What processes can take place in a root hair cell when oxygen is not available?
active transport and osmosis
What is the difference between diffusion and active transport?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration and active transport is the movement of molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration
Differences between primary and secondary active transport?
In primary active transport, the transport protein gets phosphorylated; in secondary active transport, the transport protein is not phosphorylated
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.
What is the differences between simple and active diffusion?
Simple diffusion goes with a concentration gradient and does not use ATP where active transport uses ATP to go against a concentration gradient.
Are osmotically active substances simple diffusion or active transport?
simple diffusion.
