Carrier mediated transport is not a type of a active transport......because it is a type of facilitate diffusion.
It is not depenent on a concentration gradient.
Carrier Proteins
They are used in both, in passive the molecules move in , then change the shape then leave and the entering and leaving are both by diffusion. in active transport molecules move in by diffusion, change the shape of the carrier protein, then because theyre moving into the cell where the molecule is in higher concentration energy is required to push the molecules out of the carrier proteins, this energy comes from ATP which is supplied to the carrier proteins.
Carrier proteins are sometimes used during passive transport.
passive
It can be either. A carrier pigeon is active whereas a malaria mosquito is passive.
Active
it is active
Active
It is niether. Its is passive actually. http://www.mansfield.ohio-state.edu/~sabedon/campbl08.htm #38. under Endocytosis, which is active passport, includes the example of Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis.

Carrier proteins can use active or passive transport depending on what type of carrier protein it is (meaning what the protein transports). The form of passive transport that they use is facilitated diffusion. An example of active transport is the Sodium Potassium pump. Active transport requires ATP. Facilitated diffusion is used to transport polar molecules and ions that cannot directly cross the cell membrane. Facilitated diffusion doesn't require energy.
Active transport Passive transport (diffusion and transport using protein channels) Receptor mediated transport
Carrier proteins are sometimes used during passive transport.
1) Passive diffusion. 2) Carrier mediated diffusion. In passive diffusion particles move from higher concentration to lower concentration. In carrier mediated passive diffusion a carrier protein comes, takes a paricle with it, go inside the cell membrane and liberate the particle inside. This is simple physics. By this way, once equal concentration is achieved (50 % on either side.) the diffusion should stop. But in biology the absorption may extend to very high level by passive diffusion. In biology on the other side of the cells there are cappilaries. They carry away the particle, say glucose, and maintain the concentration gradient. And so absorption continuesto very high level. ( Till all the particles are equally distributed.)
