The main difference between active transport and facilitated diffusion is:
1. In active transport the molecules move from areas of high to areas of low concentration
2. In active transport, you need carrier proteins
3. In active transport you need ATP to move molecules against a concentration gradient
4. In active transport, only water molecules move.
