Active transport uses ATP and moves substances against a concentration gradient using carrier proteins, while facilitated diffusion is passive, occurs down a concentration gradient, and uses carrier proteins or ion channels.
Il trasporto attivo utilizza ATP e muove le sostanze contro un gradiente di concentrazione utilizzando proteine trasportatrici, mentre la diffusione facilitata รจ passiva, avviene lungo un gradiente di concentrazione e utilizza proteine trasportatrici o canali ionici.
| Front | What is the difference between active transport and facilitated diffusion? |
|---|---|
| Back | - active transport uses ATP from respiration and is active - facilitated diffusion does not use ATP and is passive - active transport is against a concentration gradient from low to high concentration - facilitated diffusion is down a concentration gradient from high to low concentration - active transport uses carrier proteins only - facilitated diffusion uses both carrier proteins and ion channels |
