Carbohydrates covalently linked to proteins (glycoproteins) or lipids (glycolipids) are also a part of cell membranes, and function as adhesion and address loci for cells. The Fluid Mosaic Model describes membranes as a fluid lipid bilayer with floating proteins and carbohydrates.
B - They both use protein channels (I think so at least) they differ because active transports use a pump to leave the cell and it uses atp (cell energy).
