The following table contextualizes the operational differences between active transport and passive mechanisms: Active Transport Passive Transport Against gradient (Low →right arrow Down gradient (High →right arrow Energy Requirement Requires metabolic energy ( No metabolic energy required Protein Requirement Always requires specific carrier proteins None (simple diffusion) or channels (facilitated) Selectivity Highly specific for target molecules Dependent on physical properties (size, charge) ✅ Summary of the Role of Active Transport role of active transport
