Detailed Solution
In facilitated diffusion special proteins help move substances across membranes without expenditure of ATP energy. Facilitated diffusion cannot cause net transport of molecules from a low to a high concentration – this would require input of energy. Active transport used energy usually in the form of ATP for uphill transport.
