Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient. is a major difference between facilitated diffusion and active transport

<u>Explanation:</u>

One of the comparisons is that both facilitated diffusion and active transport utilize proteins as their medians of moving their materials to and from the cell.  Another relationship is the primary purpose of both facilitated diffusion and active transport is to drive material over the cell membrane.

One of the variations is that active transport demands energy, while facilitated diffusion does not require energy. The energy that active transport uses is ATP. The Major difference is that facilitated diffusion enables substances to accompany the concentration gradient either way, while active transport only has substances go one way, against their concentration gradient.

Why are common names a problem for scientist?

Answer:

A) Light pollution both attracts and repels migratory birds

In addition to the many hazards that exist in urban areas, cities typically lack the food resources and cover that birds need during migration or when raising their young. ... Darkening skies at night during migration season makes it easier for birds to navigate.

Explanation:

Migration carries high costs in predation and mortality, including from hunting by humans, and is driven primarily by availability of food. It occurs mainly in the northern hemisphere, where birds are funneled on to specific routes by natural barriers such as the Mediterranean Sea or the Caribbean Sea.
