There are two types of diffusion. Facilitated and non facilitated. Diffusion occurs when there is a concentration gradient. That is, when an area has more concentration than the other area. Diffusion is used to transfer particles from one place to another.
Active transport is used to transfer particles, usually occurring against a concentration gradient. Active transport requires energy to occur however, diffusion does not.

active transport is different from diffusion. active transport has to do with the movement of chemical substance through a gradient of concentration. diffusion has to do with requiring the expenditure of energy
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.
Specifically Diffusion, but it is also active transport
Molecules can cross the cell membrane through simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion via transporter proteins, and active transport using energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
passive or active transport. Passive transport does not require energy input and includes processes like diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Active transport requires energy input and includes processes like primary active transport and secondary active transport.
simple and facilitated diffusion don't require energy and are forms of passive transport. Active transport requires energy
Active transport uses energy while diffusion does not
Facilitated diffusion, or diffusion through ion channels, is not a form of active transport. It is a spontaneous passive transport.
simple diffusion.

facilitated diffusion, secondary active transport and active transport
active transport is different from diffusion. active transport has to do with the movement of chemical substance through a gradient of concentration. diffusion has to do with requiring the expenditure of energy
Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).
The main difference is that diffusion does not require energy and active transport does require energy. Just for the record diffusion has a concentration that moves from high to low, and active transport has a concentration that moves from low to high. (Hope this helps to answer your question!)
ATP is required for active transport.
no they are passive transport
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
