Nope! Osmosis is simply the movement of H2O over a membrane from high concentration to low concentration. It's a form of passive diffusion!

Does osmosis require a carrier?

NO. Osmosis( by definition) is the DIFFUSION of water from a high concentration gradient to a low concentration gradient across a semipermeable membrane. As diffusion is a form of passive transport, it doesnt require a carrier


Does osmosis require membrane proteins?

No, osmosis is a special type of diffusion in which a water molecule is able to passively transport through a membrane without a protein. Although it is polar, it's extremely small size makes this possible

Osmosis does not require what?

Osmosis does not require energy input, such as ATP, for the movement of molecules across a semi-permeable membrane. Instead, it relies on the concentration gradient of solute molecules to drive the movement of water molecules.


Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?

Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.


Is a protein osmosis?

No, protein is not osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. Proteins are macromolecules made up of amino acids that have various functions in the body.
