Active transport vs passive transport

Active transport and Passive Transport are the processes by which molecule transport across the membrane. The main difference between the Active transport and passive transports required energy to occur the process and concentration gradient.

	Active transport	Passive transport
requirement of energy	Active transport requires the energy to movement of the molecule.	Passive transport does not require the energy.
concentration	Active transport happens against the concentration gradient.	Passive transport happens along with the concern gradient.
Example	Endocytosis , Exocytosis and sodium-potassium pump	facilitated transport, diffusion, and osmosis.
Molecule transport	Active transport pass the large molecule against the concentration gradient	Passive transport pass He small molecule along with concern
Selectivity	Active transport is highly selective.	Passive transport is not selective
Inhibition	Metabolic inhibitor may inhibit the active transport	Metabolic inhibitor does not affect the passive transport.
Speed	Active transport is rapid process.	Passive transport is a slow process.
