Answer 1

ACTIVE TRANSPORT	PASSIVE TRANSPORT
1.REQUIRES THE USE OF ENERGY,IN THE FORM OF ATP.	1.DOES NOT REQUIRE THE NEED OF ENERGY
2.MOVEMENT OF MOLECULES AGAINST CONC.GRADIENT	2.MOVEMENT OF MOLECULES ALONG CONC.GRADIENT
3.MOVES SOLUTES ACROSS A CELL MEMBRANE,FROM LOWER TO HIGHER CONCENTRATION	3.MOVES SOLUTES AND FROM HIGHER TO LOWER CONCENTRATION
4.RAPID MOVEMENT	4.SLOW MOVEMENT
5.CELL MEMBRANE PUMPS,ENDOCYTOSIS,EXOCYTOSIS ARE FEW TYPES	5.OSMOSIS,DIFFUSION,FACILATED DIFFUSION ARE FEW TYPES.
6.SOME TYPES REQUIRES USE OF PROTEIN CARRIERS /TRANSPORT MOLECULES	6.FACILATED DIFFUSION REQUIRES USE OF PROTEIN CARRIRES /TRANSPORT MOLECULES.
7.EX.GLUCOSE ABSORBTION IN INTESTINE	7.EX.OXYGEN DIFFUSION IN ALVEOLI
