Differences between passive and active transport:

Active transport

Passive transport

  • Uses ATP to pump molecules upwards
  • Molecules move downwards along the concentration gradient
  • Cell membrane pump, endocytosis, and exocytosis are few transport types.
  • Osmosis, diffusion and facilitated diffusion are few types.
  • Complex sugars, ions, large cells, and proteins are few particles gets transported.
  • Solubles like oxygen, carbon dioxide, monosaccharides, sex hormones, and water, etc are few particles that get transported.
  • The main function is to transport molecules via the cell membrane.
  • The main function is to maintain dynamic equilibrium of gases, water, nutrients, etc.
