Gated channels are active in terms of access control.

Yes, a sodium channel that is opened by acetylcholine is not considered to be voltage-gated.
A cell releases its ions into a PG (proper grammar) solution. This is achieved by transport through channels or with transporters. This process can be active (up the electrochemical gradient) or passive (down the electrochemical gradient), in the case of transporters. Channels always mediate passive transport. Either of these processes can be gated, for example, there are voltage gated channels.
Passive transport processes do not require ATP or energy for transport. Co-transport processes would also not be considered a passive process. -The xylem in plants uses capillary action, a passive process -If a specific channel exists for, let's say, an ion or molecule, then that channel uses passive transport, however, it the channel cannot be "gated" in any way as in voltage-gated Na+ channels or delayed rectifier K+ channels. You can also look at the ascending loop of Henle in the juxtamedullary nephron of the kidney and see passive transport of water molecules -The blood brain barrier also allows passive transport of certain molecules A good way to think of passive transport is whether or not the plasma membrane has "holes" big enough in it to allow for molecules to pass through, provided there are no charge hindrances for that molecule passing through. Or a specific channel is open and letting a molecule in without the expense of ATP (using ATP to make the membrane channel protein does not fall under this category)
There are voltage-gated ion channels and ligand-gated ion channels, and since both are stimuli the term stimulus-gated is a redundancy.

== == "English grammer active and passive voice change from active to passive .
is a thermocouple an active or passive transducer?-why?
Passive is to change as active is to affect.
