Solution
The correct option is C Faciliated transport is a type of Active transport.
Active transport occurs across the plasma membrane against the concentration gradient
from their lower to higher concentration. It requires ATP. So it is an energy dependent process. Faciliated transport is a type of active transport. Diffusion and Osmosis are types of Passive transport which don't require expenditure of energy ATP.
Diffusion requires a protein channel whereas active transport does not require any protein channels.

Solution
The correct option is D
Active transport requires a protein channel whereas diffusion does not require any protein channels.
In plants, molecules are transported across cell membranes by two major processes, diffusion and active transport. Diffusion is basically the movement from a high concentration to a low concentration of molecules whereas, in active transport, some special proteins help move molecules across cell membranes with the help of energy from the cell. The fundamental difference between the 2 processes is the requirement of energy which is present in active transport but not in diffusion.
