LACP/Ethernet

So I'm working through a self-study lab and was asked to 'Ensure that only
dot1q and EtherChannel are supported'. The answer guide listed it as 'mode
on' and singled out that it was 'only etherchannel' and not 'pagp or lacp'.
I configured 'mode active' (a "bad" habit of my preferred method of
configuration).

So my question is are LACP and PAGP subsets and still an 'etherchannel', or
is a true etherchannel limited to 'mode on'?
(And this is more from an academic standpoint - I the lab didn't single out
either lacp or pagp requirements and know I should stick to what I'm told to
configure).

Thanks!
