active transport
Facilitated diffusion
No, diffusive equilibrium requires a concentration gradient and the ability of the molecule to pass through a membrane. If a molecule is impermeable, it cannot move freely across the membrane, so diffusive equilibrium is not possible for that molecule.
Carrier proteins are a type of molecule that can be used as a tunnel to move compounds across the cell membrane. These proteins bind to specific molecules and undergo conformational changes to transport them across the membrane. This process is known as facilitated diffusion.
Facilitated diffusion
Facilitated diffusion involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane with the help of transport proteins. The steps include the binding of the molecule to the specific protein, conformational changes in the protein to carry the molecule across the membrane, and the release of the molecule on the other side of the membrane. This process does not require energy input from the cell.
Active transport requires energy to move a molecule.
Active transport, which requires energy in the form of ATP to move substances against their concentration gradient across a cell membrane. This process involves specific protein pumps that bind to the molecule being transported, consuming ATP to change conformation and move the molecule across the membrane.

Yes, group translocation is an energy-requiring process in which a molecule is chemically modified during transport across a membrane. Energy is needed to drive the modification of the molecule, ultimately allowing it to be transported into the cell.

Carrier-assisted transport is a mechanism in which a carrier molecule assists in the movement of a substance across a biological membrane. The carrier molecule can bind to the substance and facilitate its transport across the membrane. This process is typically passive and does not require energy input from the cell.
