Transport and facilitated diffusion have in common, Biology

Assignment Help:

Q. What do active transport and facilitated diffusion have in common? What are the dissimilarity between them?

Facilitated diffusion can be perplexed with active transport because in both processes there is participation of membrane proteins.

In active transport however the transported substance moves against its concentration gradient and with energy exhausted. Facilitated diffusion is a passive transport in support of the concentration gradient and it does not require energy.
