No. Active transport uses energy to transport specific molecules against a concentration gradient. Passive transport will result in an even distribution of molecules because they allow molecules to move down a concentration gradient.

What molecules result from an even distribution of the electron cloud?

I think you're talking about nonpolar covalent molecules. These molecules share their electrons equally between atoms.


What is the difference between facilitated diffusion with help of the carrier molecule and active transport with help of a transport protein?

The most essential difference is that one is active (uses energy) and one is passive (doesn't require energy). Take note whenever you see the word 'active' in this context- it denotes that energy is required for it to occur, usually against the concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion is just another passive process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Note that this requires no energy to occur, except it differs from diffusion in that a carrier molecule is required (usually because the molecule is too large to freely cross the plasma membrane)

Large numbers of which organelle would be present in a cell that actively transports a lot of glucose across its membrane?

Active transport requires energy. Energy is released as a result of respiration, and respiration takes place in mitochondria. So major sites of active transport, such as kidney nephrons and villi in the small intestine need relatively large number of these organelles.


Diffusion of nonpolar molecules would not be affected by?

Diffusion of nonpolar molecules would not be affected by charge. Allosteric inhibition is generally a result of binding regulatory molecule at a site other than the active site.


What is the implication of non-polar molecules being fatser than plar molecules through the cell membrane?

The implication of non-polar molecules being faster than polar molecules through the cell membrane is seen in the transport of essential molecules like glucose. This is made possible through the gradients that are established as a result of this.
