The characteristic of facilitated diffusion is movement to a area of lower concentration (1) which assisted by proteins (2)), for example glucose transport into cell (5). While active transport is the movement which require energy (3), for example, sodium ion transport out of cells (4). Both of them are the movement across a membrane (6).
The cell membrane regulates the movement of particle in and out of cells. In terms of the concentration gradient and energy, there are some types of movement. Passive movement is a type of movement from high concentration to lower concentration so that doesn’t require energy in form of ATP. For example, osmosis and diffusion. Specially for facilitated diffusion, the movement is assisted by proteins. However the solute is moving down the concentration gradient. A transport of glucose into cells is through a facillitated diffusion.
Conversely, an active transport needs energy from respiration because the movement against the concentration gradient. For example, the sodium ion transport out of the cells.
