What is the difference between facilitated diffusion and active transport?

Biology
1 answer:
yuradex [85]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Active transport uses ATP and moves substances against the concentration gradient; facilitated diffusion does not.

Explanation:

Active transports moves against the concentration gradient (hence why it needs energy or ATP to do so, its going "against the grain"). Facilitated diffusion does not require ATP but does something require carrier proteins during passive transport.
