what is facilitated transport and active transport .
Answers
Answer:
Facilitated transport
Facilitated diffusion (also known as facilitated transport or passive-mediated transport) is the process of spontaneous passive transport (as opposed to active transport) of molecules or ions across a biological membrane via specific transmembrane integral proteins.
Active transport
In cellular biology, active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration—against the concentration gradient. Active transport requires cellular energy to achieve this movement.
Answer:
Active transport is an active process. Thus, it requires energy. Whereas facilitated diffusion is a passive process and does not require energy. Active transport uses carrier proteins. ... Active transport is used to transport molecules against their concentration gradient.
