Active transport requires energy to move molecules across a membrane against their concentration gradient. This process is facilitated by specific carrier proteins embedded in the membrane that use energy, usually in the form of ATP, to transport molecules.
Active transport
proteins
Polar molecules must pass through the membrane via active transport. This is because the cellular membrane is mostly nonpolar, and polar and nonpolar molecules repel each other. Only nonpolar molecule (i.e. hormones) can pass through the membrane without active transportation.

Active transport requires energy to move molecules across a membrane against their concentration gradient. This process is facilitated by specific carrier proteins embedded in the membrane that use energy, usually in the form of ATP, to transport molecules.
Active transport
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.
Active transport processes use ATP as a source of energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient across a cell membrane. This process requires specific transport proteins, such as ion pumps, to actively transport molecules across the membrane.

Osmosis, Passive Transport, and Active Transport
Active transport requires energy to move molecules across the cell membrane, while facilitated transport uses carrier proteins to help molecules pass through the membrane without energy.
Yes, polar molecules can cross the cell membrane through facilitated diffusion or active transport.
