Answer:

Active transports needs energy to transport against the concentration gradient from low to high . Proteins act as a carriers that use energy from ATP directly called primary transport ( the Na+ / K+ ATpase transport 2 potassium and 3 sodium in opposite directions) or indirectly via other ion ingredient called secondary transport (involves coupling the molecules with another moving along an electrochemial gradient)

Facilitated transport (diffusion) in which substances move down the concentration gradient from high to low, they includes proteins such as ion channels ( that provide a water filled pore for hydrophilic ions or carriers for large molecules such as glucose).

This difference is that active transport needs energy, while facilitated diffusion does not need energy. The energy that active transport uses is ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ... Sodium and potassium can easily diffuse through the cell membrane, but that is only when they are going with the concentration gradient.

djyliett [7]

If a post-synaptic ionotropic receptor is permeable to potassium and assuming all normal ionic distributions, the response in the post synaptic cell will be inhibitory.

Ion channels that open in response to the binding of a neurotransmitter are known as ionotropic receptors, also known as neurotransmitter-gated or ligand-gated channels.
If there is a synapse, they can be found anywhere along the neuron, though they are typically found around the dendrites or cell body.
Ligand-gated channels play a crucial role in the transmission of information from one neuron to another.
Postsynaptic receptors can identify two different kinds of neurotransmitters.
The action potential is swiftly transmitted by ionotropic receptors, also known as ligand-gated ion channels, to depolarize the neuron (or hyperpolarize the neuron and inhibit additional action potentials).
