A process that requires no energy input is passive.
One passive process used by materials crossing a cell membrane is diffusion.
Examples:
Facilitated diffusion (diffusion through transport proteins: channel and carrier proteins) is a form of diffusion, and so it is also passive.
Another passive process is osmosis. This is the process by which water crosses a cell membrane either into or out of the cell, but always into the solution that has the higher total concentration of solutes.
Active transport is the movement of materials across a membrane that requires energy input, typically in the form of ATP. This process allows cells to move molecules against their concentration gradient, ensuring the proper balance of ions and molecules inside and outside the cell.
It's called active transport. When talking about the cell, it is usually bigger substances that use passages in the cell membrane to access the inner part of the cell, and they need energy to get there. The opposite; passive transport or diffusion, is the movement of dissolved materials through a cell membrane without the use of cellular energy. THis happens with smaller substances.
no because it is a form of passive transport. only active transport requires energy. facilitated diffusion just means that it cant be just absorbed through the membrane, it must go through specific chanels or be helped by transport proteins. but because facilitated diffusion moves from higher to lower concentrations, it requires no energy.
diffusion and osmosis
Active transport is the process that requires the use of energy to move materials across a membrane. This process involves the movement of molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy input from the cell.
Active Transport requires first of all Energy which is obtained from respiration and secondly a selectively permeable membrane through which movement of materials can take place.
Active transport is the movement of materials across a membrane that requires energy input, typically in the form of ATP. This process allows cells to move molecules against their concentration gradient, ensuring the proper balance of ions and molecules inside and outside the cell.
Considering the cell membrane itself, processes include diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion (passive processes that do not require energy) and active transport (an active process that requires energy).

Energy-free movement of materials through a cell membrane is called passive transport. This process includes diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion, where molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the input of energy.
Active transport. The sodium-potassium pump is an example of this.
The molecule that requires energy to pass through the cell membrane is typically an ion or a large polar molecule, such as glucose, which moves against its concentration gradient. This process is known as active transport and involves the use of ATP or other energy sources to facilitate the movement of these substances through specific transport proteins in the membrane. Examples include sodium-potassium pumps and glucose transporters.
