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

Where active transport requires energy and moves items against their concentration gradient (from low concentration to high concentration), facilitated diffusion requires no energy input and items move along the concentration gradient (high concentration to low concentration).

Facilitated diffusion is a passive transport. It uses carrier proteins, but doesn't require any energy.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoActive transport and facilitated diffusion with in the cell are similar in that they are the means to move molecules in and out of the cell. Both methods are energy based operations.

Diffusion with a channel protein?
They are the channels by which molecules enter in facilitated diffusion.
Is osmosis an example of facilitated diffusion or active transport?
No. Facilitated diffusion is an example of passive transport because it does not require the cell to expend energy.
Compare and contrast active transport and facilitated diffusion-?
Active transport moves solutes against their concentration gradient; facilitated diffusion moves substances down their concentration gradient.
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.
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
Is facilitated diffusion active?
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
Diffusion with a channel protein?
They are the channels by which molecules enter in facilitated diffusion.
Is osmosis an example of facilitated diffusion or active transport?
No. Facilitated diffusion is an example of passive transport because it does not require the cell to expend energy.
Is facilitated diffusion an example of active transport?
no
How is active transport different than simple and facilitated diffusion?
simple and facilitated diffusion don't require energy and are forms of passive transport. Active transport requires energy
Compare and contrast active transport and facilitated diffusion-?
Active transport moves solutes against their concentration gradient; facilitated diffusion moves substances down their concentration gradient.
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
How is facilitated diffusion diferant froma an active transport?
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which does not require the cell to expend energy.
How do products of the cell get out of the cell?
Diffusion, facilitated diffusion, passive transport, facilitated transport (?) and active transport ... unless we are referring to viral or bacterial products.
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 does active transport and facilitated diffusion have in common?
Active transport is when proteins move substances into the cell while expending energy. Facilitated diffusion is the movement of chemicals through a protein into a cell.
