Answer: Active transport goes against the gradient causing it to use ATP (energy) unlike diffusion which uses passive. Two types of diffusion are simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion, whereas two types of active transport are primary and secondary active transport.

Explanation: Active energy uses more energy to function rather than diffusion which has multiple types causing it to be different from active transport. Hope this helps!!
