Both facilitated transport and active transport involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane with the help of carrier proteins. However, facilitated transport does not require energy input from the cell, while active transport does require energy in the form of ATP. Both processes are specific and selective in what molecules they transport across the membrane.
Active transport requires energy in the form of ATP to move molecules across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require energy and relies on the concentration gradient to move molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Additionally, active transport can move molecules in both directions across the membrane, while passive transport can only move molecules down the concentration gradient.
Materials cross the plasma membrane through processes such as simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. These processes involve the movement of substances across the lipid bilayer of the membrane with the help of transport proteins or by utilizing energy to move against a concentration gradient.
passive transport and active transport.
Things like oxygen, CO2 and lipids cross the membrane with simple diffusion. Water can cross the membrane with osmosis when the water moves through a channel protein in the plasma membrane. Glucose, potassium, sodium etc. moves through a carrier protein in the membrane with the process of active movement. In the process of active movement energy is needed and it is given by the glucose or ATP from the cell.
Things move across the membrane from lower to higher concentrations by active transport.

Things can enter the cell through various processes, such as osmosis, diffusion and active transport. Passive transport (diffusion/osmosis) occurs because of a difference in concentration across the membrane.
Active transport requires energy in the form of ATP to move molecules across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require energy and relies on the concentration gradient to move molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Additionally, active transport can move molecules in both directions across the membrane, while passive transport can only move molecules down the concentration gradient.
Active transport requires the use of ATP because in active transport things move against the concentration gradient. Usually there is a protien pump (which is a form of a transport protien) that does this.
a cell transports things across the cell membrane from areas of high concentration to ares of low concentration
Well, darling, we've got primary active transport where molecules move against the concentration gradient using ATP, secondary active transport where molecules hitch a ride with another molecule moving down its gradient, and finally, good old vesicular transport where large molecules are engulfed by a vesicle and transported across the cell membrane. Hope that clears things up for you, sugar.
passive transport and active transport
. One method is that transport proteins in the cell membrane "pick up" molecules from outside the cell and carry them in, while using energy in the process. A second method is that the cell membrane surrounds a particle and takes it in.
Passive transport: molecules move across the cell membrane without requiring energy, through processes like diffusion and osmosis. Active transport: molecules move across the cell membrane using energy, often against a concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion: molecules move across the cell membrane with the help of specific carrier proteins, still following the concentration gradient.

These processes involve the movement of substances across the lipid bilayer of the membrane with the help of transport proteins or by utilizing energy to move against a concentration gradient.
Facilitated diffusion is the passive transport of molecules across a membrane with the help of transport proteins. This process occurs down the concentration gradient and does not require energy. In contrast, active transport requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient through specific transport proteins.
