Diffusion versus Active Transport

Question

Distinguish between diffusion and active transport in a human body.

Answer

Diffusion and Active Transport are two fundamental mechanisms that living organisms use to move substances across cell membranes and maintain essential processes.

Diffusion is a passive process that moves substances along their concentration gradients and doesn't require energy, while active transport is energy-dependent and enables the movement of substances against their concentration gradients.
