Facilitated Diffusion Atp. Active transports moves against the concentration gradient hence why it needs energy or ATP to do so its going against the grain. Therefore this is the key difference between active transport and facilitated diffusion.
It is a type of passive transport down the concentration gradient. Even though facilitated diffusion involves transport proteins it is still passive transport because the solute is moving down the concentration gradient. 5232020 Facilitated diffusion definition Facilitated diffusion is the process of biological transport in which specific structural components of biological membranes interact with particular solutes or classes of solutes markedly increasing the rates at which they can cross the membrane.
When the protein changes shape in facilitated diffusion it is because the substances bond onto the protein and the protein.
Facilitated diffusion is the diffusion of solutes through transport proteins in the plasma membrane. 6272011 Active transport is the process of moving molecules across the cellular membrane through the use of cellular energy. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport. Active transports moves against the concentration gradient hence why it needs energy or ATP to do so its going against the grain.
