"...requires" vs. "... is required by"

Hey guys! I noticed on my last exam that I had trouble differentiating between the logical indicators, "requires" and "is required by." Can anyone help me out?

    Requires:

    1. Eating healthy requires eating an adequate amount of fruits and veggies every day.

    Eating Healthy --> Adequate Amount of F and V

    (If I want to eat healthy, then I have to eat an adequate amount of fruits and veggies every day)

    Required:
    2. The LSAT is required by all the top law schools that I want to attend.

    Top law schools that I want to attend --> LSAT

    (If I want to attend a top law school, the LSAT is required)
