Passive transport is useful to all cells because it does not require the use of a cell's energy; this is of much benefit to the cell and organism.
Water can use both passive and active transport mechanisms. Passive transport involves movement of water molecules across a membrane without the need for energy, while active transport involves the use of energy to move water molecules against their concentration gradient.

The only different between passive and active transport is the use of energy. In passive transport, molecules can either diffuse across the membrane, go through an aquaporin or use a passive transporter. In active transport, energy needs to be released, and it is usually because you are trying to transport a molecule or ion up its concentration gradient.
Active transport requires energy while passive transport does not.

Passive transport does not use energy to pass through a cell membrane. active transport uses energy to pass through a cell membrane.
Carrier proteins can be involved in passive transport.
