text: The upcoming points will present the substantial differences between active and passive transport: Active transport can be defined as the movement of molecules across the cell membrane, pumping the molecules against the concentration gradient involving ATP (energy), whereas passive transport can be defined as the movement of molecules within and across the cell membrane and through the concentration gradient, without using ATP (energy).
