Osmosis is defined as the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. In theory water could be actively pumped and it would still count as osmosis so it might not always be passive. But in cells water passes through proteins called Aquaporins which allow the passive transport of water.

Does Osmosis require ATP?
No, osmosis is a form of passive transport.
Is ATP needed for osmosis?
No - osmosis is the passive movement of water.
Passive transport of water is known as?
floating
Is osmosis in passive or active transport?
Passive Transport, i think.
Does Osmosis use ATP?
No. Osmosis is passive, meaning it does not require ATP.
Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
Is osmosis active trasport or passive trasport?
Osmosis is an example of Passive Transport.
Is osmosis active or passive?
It is passive.
Is osmosis active or a passive transport?
Passive.
Osmosis and diffusion are examples of passive transport?
Yes, osmosis and diffusion are both examples of passive transport.
Does Osmosis require ATP?
No, osmosis is a form of passive transport.
Is ATP needed for osmosis?
No - osmosis is the passive movement of water.
Passive transport of water is known as?
floating
Is osmosis in passive or active transport?
Passive Transport, i think.
Does Osmosis use ATP?
No. Osmosis is passive, meaning it does not require ATP.
Is osmosis active or passive transport?
It is passive transport because the water flows from a more highly concentrated solution to a less concentrated solution.
Why is osmosis an example of passive transport and not active transport?
passive transport does not require energy eg. diffusion and osmosis. Therefore, osmosis is a passive transport. Active transport requires energy eg. a molecule going from a low concentration from a high concentration.
