There are two types of diffusion. Facilitated and non facilitated. Diffusion occurs when there is a concentration gradient. That is, when an area has more concentration than the other area. Diffusion is used to transfer particles from one place to another.
Active transport is used to transfer particles, usually occurring against a concentration gradient. Active transport requires energy to occur however, diffusion does not.

Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration, while active transport requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Active transport allows cells to accumulate substances in higher concentrations than the surrounding environment, while diffusion tends to equalize concentrations.
Diffusion and active transport are ways by which materials are transported in the cell. Diffusion differs from active transport because it does not use energy, whereas active transport utilizes energy in the form of ATP.
diffusion is the spread of something moving with the concentration gradient. active transport is where the movement requires energy like moving a carbohydrate into a cell. you need to use a transmembrane protein and ATP.
Diffusion: When the molecules are highly concentrated at part and lower concentrated at another part they move from high concentration to low concentration besides it`s a physical process.
Active transport: Passage of ions or other thing from low concentration to high concentration against concentration gradients and it`s chemical process needs energy.

How is diffusion different from active transport?
Diffusion is a passive process where molecules move from an area of high concentration to low concentration, while active transport requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient from low to high concentration. Active transport involves carrier proteins or pumps to transport molecules, while diffusion does not require any specific proteins.
What is it called when materials move from lower to higher concentration?
Specifically Diffusion, but it is also active transport
What are three ways molecules can cross the cell membrane?
Molecules can cross the cell membrane through simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion via transporter proteins, and active transport using energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
All transport through the cell membrane can be classified as?
passive or active transport. Passive transport does not require energy input and includes processes like diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Active transport requires energy input and includes processes like primary active transport and secondary active transport.
What 3 ways can substances enter and leave a cell?
Substances can move in and out of a cell in several ways. Diffusion is when a substance will distribute itself in or out of a cell until the distribution on both sides of the cell is balanced. Active transport is when a cell transports a substance across the cell membrane that would not normally be able to pass through. Osmosis is the movement of water from areas with few dissolved dissolved substances to areas with high dissolved substances.
How is active transport different than simple and facilitated diffusion?
simple and facilitated diffusion don't require energy and are forms of passive transport. Active transport requires energy
What is the way the active transport differs from diffusion?
Active transport uses energy while diffusion does not
Is diffusion through ion channels a form of active transport?
Facilitated diffusion, or diffusion through ion channels, is not a form of active transport. It is a spontaneous passive transport.
Are osmotically active substances simple diffusion or active transport?
simple diffusion.
What are the different kind of cell transfort?
Active transport Passive transport (diffusion and transport using protein channels) Receptor mediated transport
What are Vesicle mediated transport is a type of?
facilitated diffusion, secondary active transport and active transport
How is diffusion different from active transport?
Diffusion is a passive process where molecules move from an area of high concentration to low concentration, while active transport requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient from low to high concentration. Active transport involves carrier proteins or pumps to transport molecules, while diffusion does not require any specific proteins.
Is diffusion an example of active transport or passive transport?
Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).
How is the active transport different from diffusion?
The main difference is that diffusion does not require energy and active transport does require energy. Just for the record diffusion has a concentration that moves from high to low, and active transport has a concentration that moves from low to high. (Hope this helps to answer your question!)
What is the main way that active transport differs diffusion?
ATP is required for active transport.
Is diffusion and osmosis both active transport?
no they are passive transport
Is facilitated diffusion active?
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
