How is the active transport different from diffusion?

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 differs from active cell transport processes because of what?

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.


How are facilitated diffusion and active transport different?

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


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.


Is glucose molecule passive or active transport?

Secondary active transport aka facilitated diffusion [depending on your teacher].

Is diffusion an active transport?

no it is not because it does not require the use of ATP


Is diffusion active transport?

No, it is passive transport because it does not require any of the cell's energy.

Is diffusion through ion channels a form of active transport?

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

Are osmotically active substances simple diffusion or active transport?

simple diffusion.


What is differs between active transport and passive transport?

Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.


Is it true diffusion is a type of active transport?

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
