both these processes do the transport against the concentration gradient

uh no facilitated diffusion doesnt go against the gradient, the similiarity is that they both use carrier protiens

In what ways are active transport and facilitated diffusion similar?

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.


How is facilitated diffusion similar to active transport in terms of their mechanisms of moving substances across the cell membrane?

Facilitated diffusion and active transport are similar in that they both involve the movement of substances across the cell membrane with the help of specific proteins. However, facilitated diffusion does not require energy, while active transport does require energy in the form of ATP to move substances against their concentration gradient.


Compare and contrast diffusion and facilitated diffusion?

They both require a trans membrane protein. Facilitated diffusion does not require energy whereas active transport requires energy. Facilitated diffusion takes place when there is a net movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration whereas active transport takes place when there is a net movement of molecules from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration.


Is facilitated diffusion is an active transport?

The name itself indicates there difference. Diffusion occurs without any other active participant/free flow diffusion is called Transport diffusion. Diffusion occurs with help of other active participant is called Facilitate Diffusion


In what process are carrier proteins important?

Carrier proteins is important in facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion transports molecules from one area of higher concentration on one side of the membrane to an area of lower concentration on the other side .Because the molecules are moving down their concentration gradient , facilitated diffusion is passive transport.

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.

How does diffusion take place in the body?

P.I.S.O.- Potassium in Sodium out facilitated diffusion, active transport , and passive transport and simple diffusion.


What does active transport and facilitated diffusion have in common?

Both active transport and facilitated diffusion are methods of moving substances across cell membranes. Active transport requires energy input to move substances against their concentration gradient, while facilitated diffusion does not require energy and moves substances along their concentration gradient with the help of transport proteins.
