  • Q3
    What is the difference between facilitated diffusion and active transport?
    Question Image
    Active transport uses proteins in the process.
    Facilitated required large amounts of energy.
    Active moves substances against the concentrated gradient.
    Facilitated moves molecules through the plasma membrane.
