Akers seek instant trades, paying higher fees for market orders. So you get a transaction pretty much immediately, but pay a bit more for it. For PrimeXBT, you pay 0,02% (still freaking cheap as hell, if you ask anyone).
Makers provide liquidity to the market, takers take liquidity off the market. Hence the names.
