Question

What is the difference between facilitated diffusion and active transport?

Facilitated diffusion uses ATP and moves substances with the concentration gradient; active transport does not.


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


Active transport uses ATP and does not require a carrier protein; facilitated diffusion does neither.


Facilitated diffusion uses ATP and requires a carrier protein; active transport does not.

Answer 1

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.
