Active transport expends energy, unlike osmosis and diffusion. Active transport is a way to move substances against concentration gradients in the cell membrane, so they need more energy to do so.

How do the roles of protein molecules in diffusion differ and active transport?
== == == == == == == == == ==
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
Does active transport rely on the process of diffusion?
Yes except, diffusion is a passive process (no energy is required) whereas active transport requires energy. this is because it is moving UP then concentration gradient whereas diffusion moves DOWN it
A cell moves particles from a region of lesser concentration to a region of greater concentration by what?
The process in which particles move from high to low concentration is called diffusion .
How can active transport differ from passive transport?
Active transport can occur against a diffusion gradient ("uphill flow).

Is diffusion an act of active transport?
if you mean that active transport is an act of diffusion, than yes it is.
What is the way the active transport differs from diffusion?
Active transport uses energy while diffusion does not
What processes can take place in a root hair cell when oxygen is not available?
active transport and osmosis
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.
Are osmotically active substances simple diffusion or active transport?
simple diffusion.
How is the active transport different from diffusion?
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!)
What are Vesicle mediated transport is a type of?
facilitated diffusion, secondary active transport and active transport
What are Vesicle-mediated transport is a type of?
facilitated diffusion, secondary active transport and active transport
Is diffusion an example of active transport or passive transport?
Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).
