Difference Between Active Transport and Passive Transport

5 Active transport requires carrier proteins In passive transport carrier proteins are not involved However, in facilitated diffusion

Passive Transport Some materials, like water and oxygen, can enter and leave cells without the cell needing to expend any energy This is

active transport In facilitated transport , also called facilitated diffusion, materials diffuse across the plasma membrane with the help of membrane proteins

passive transport Active transport helps in the uphill movement of substances On the other hand, passive transport helps in the downward movement of substances
