Water potential gradient is caused by active transport of salts into xylem, this creates a force which makes water move up the plant, this force is known as root pressure

Has any relation between osmosis pressure and water activity?

There is definitely a strong relation between osmosis pressure and water activity. Osmosis is the movement of water from high pressure to low pressure.


Is there more pressure used in Osmosis or reverse Osmosis?

Water or liquid move naturally from lower concentration to higher concentration. The drive force is called osmotic pressure. No additional pressure need to drive osmosis process. Reverse osmosis, is apply pressure to fight against osmotic pressure. It do need additional pressure to reverse the osmosis process. It is comparing a zero additional pressure with any positive additional pressure thus of cause reverse osmosis require more pressure.

Would there be an increase or decrease in the rate of osmosis if the temperature were raised?

Osmosis is a physical process in which the net flow of solvent is from there higher concentration to their lower concentration. As osmosis is physical process it first increase with increase in temprature but get constant after some extent.
