Answer

See the explanation

Work Step by Step

(1) Similarity between active transport and passive transport is - there both involve the movement of molecules or ions across the cell membrane. (2) Difference between active transport and passive transport is- Passive transport involves the movement of molecules or ions from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, without the need for energy input. . Active transport involves move of molecules or ions against their concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
