    Similarities:

    1) Both are biological processes that move oxygen, water and nutrients into cells and remove waste products.

    Difference:

    Active Transport - requires chemical energy because the process of transport is the movement of biochemicals from areas of lower concentration to higher concentration.

    Passive Transport - does not require energy because the process of transport is the movement of biochemicals from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration.

    Types of transport:

    Active Transport - endocytosis, cell membrane/sodium-potassium pump and exoctyosis

    Passive Transport - diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis.

    Types of particles transported:

    Active Transport - proteins, ions, large cells, complex sugars

    Passive Transport - anything soluble in lipids, small monosaccharides, water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, sex hormone, etc.
