Needs none of a cell energy
The main difference is that diffusion does not require energy and active transport does require energy. Just for the record diffusion has a concentration that moves from high to low, and active transport has a concentration that moves from low to high. (Hope this helps to answer your question!)
Diffusion is a passive transport process that relies on the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, requiring no energy input. In contrast, active cell transport processes involve the movement of substances against their concentration gradient, which requires energy, typically in the form of ATP. This distinction highlights how diffusion is driven by natural concentration gradients, while active transport is energy-dependent to facilitate the accumulation of molecules where they are less concentrated.
Because facilitated diffusion moves moolecules from regions of higher concentration toward lower concentration, active transport moves particles through membranes from region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which does not require the cell to expend energy.
Secondary active transport aka facilitated diffusion [depending on your teacher].
Active transport uses energy while diffusion does not
ATP is required for active transport.
It requires an energy source!
no it is not because it does not require the use of ATP
No, it is passive transport because it does not require any of the cell's energy.
no it is not because it does not require the use of ATP

Facilitated diffusion, or diffusion through ion channels, is not a form of active transport. It is a spontaneous passive transport.

simple diffusion.
Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.
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
