Simple diffusion = flow of small molecules ALONG the concentration gradient, does NOT require energy.
facilitated diffusion = flow of molecules ALONG the concentration gradient with help of CARRIER PROTIENS or CHANNELS, does NOT require energy
active transport= flow of larger or charged molecules AGAINST their concentration gradient, REQUIRES input of ENERGY in the form of ATP.)
What else can I help you with?
In what ways are active transport and facilitated diffusion similar?
Active transport and facilitated diffusion are similar in that they both involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane, but they differ in that active transport requires energy input from the cell, while facilitated diffusion does not.
How does facilitated transport differ from active transport in terms of the energy requirements and mechanisms involved in moving molecules across a cell membrane?
Facilitated transport and active transport are two ways molecules can move across a cell membrane. Facilitated transport does not require energy from the cell, while active transport does require energy in the form of ATP. Facilitated transport uses carrier proteins to help molecules move across the membrane, while active transport uses pumps to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
How do facilitated diffusion and active transport compare and contrast in terms of their mechanisms of transport across the cell membrane?
Facilitated diffusion and active transport are both ways that substances move across the cell membrane, but they differ in their mechanisms. Facilitated diffusion uses protein channels to help substances passively move from areas of high concentration to low concentration, while active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient using protein pumps.
How do faciliated diffusion and active transport differ?
In active transport, the molecules are carried against the force of diffusion. This is the opposite of facilitated transport. Also in active transport, energy in the form of ATP is required, since the molecules move against the normal flow. Note that energy is not needed in facilitated transport.

How does facilitated diffusion contrast with active transport in terms of their mechanisms of transporting molecules across the cell membrane?
Facilitated diffusion and active transport are both ways that molecules can move across the cell membrane, but they differ in their mechanisms. Facilitated diffusion uses protein channels or carriers to help molecules move from an area of high concentration to low concentration without requiring energy. Active transport, on the other hand, uses energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient, often with the help of protein pumps.
In what ways are active transport and facilitated diffusion similar?
Active transport and facilitated diffusion are similar in that they both involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane, but they differ in that active transport requires energy input from the cell, while facilitated diffusion does not.

Facilitated transport uses carrier proteins to help molecules move across the membrane, while active transport uses pumps to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
How is facilitated transport different from active transport?
Facilated transport does not need to use energy but active transport does.
What are Vesicle mediated transport is a type of?
facilitated diffusion, secondary active transport and active transport
Is facilitated diffusion active?
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
How does facilitate transport differ from active transport?
Facilitated transport occurs when a substance moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower without the aid of energy. Active transport involves additional energy as it is moving from a lower concentration into a higher concentration.
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
Does facilitated transport have a sodium potassium pump?
The sodium potassium pump requires ATP - i.e. it is involved in active transport, not facilitated transport.
How do facilitated diffusion and active transport compare and contrast in terms of their mechanisms of transport across the cell membrane?
Facilitated diffusion and active transport are both ways that substances move across the cell membrane, but they differ in their mechanisms. Facilitated diffusion uses protein channels to help substances passively move from areas of high concentration to low concentration, while active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient using protein pumps.
How is faciliated transport similar to active transport?
Both facilitated transport and active transport require the substance that passes the membrane to pass through intermembrane proteins. However, unlike active transport, facilitated transport does not require ATP because it is not actively going against the concentration gradient.
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.
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.
