Final answer:
Active transport requires energy input and can move substances against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require energy and moves substances with the concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion involves transport proteins, while simple diffusion does not.
Step-by-step explanation:
Active transport requires energy input, while passive transport does not. Passive transport moves substances from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, while active transport can move substances against their concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion requires the use of transport proteins, while simple diffusion does not. Simple diffusion is the movement of substances from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, while facilitated diffusion uses carrier proteins to help substances move across the membrane.
