Osmosis is a physical process in which a solvent moves, without input of energy, across a semipermeable membrane (permeable to the solvent , but not the solute) separating two solutions of different concentrations. Osmosis releases energy, and can be made to do work, as when a growing tree root splits a stone.

What is the most common form of passive transport?
Diffusion and Osmosis
Is osmosis a form of diffusion?
Yes. Osmosis is a special case of diffusion - in involves just water diffusing across a semipermeable membranes - like in cell membranes.
Is osmosis trans active?
Osmosis is a passive form of diffusion as it travels downa concentration gradiant, as opposed to active transport; a type of diffusion that can go against a conc. grad.
What special form of diffusion tgat applies only to water?
Osmosis is the form the applies only to water. This is only in high waters.
Osmosis?
Osmosis is
Does Osmosis require ATP?
No, osmosis is a form of passive transport.
Osmosis is a form of?
diffusion
Osmosis is a special form of?
Osmosis is a special form of diffusion in that it brings water into a cell, rather than nutrients & other substances.
How does water enter or leave the uni cellular organism by diffusion or osmosis?
osmosis is a form of diffusion. in regard to water, the diffusion type would be osmosis
What is the most common form of passive transport?
Diffusion and Osmosis
What are two way diffusion and osmosis are the same?
Osmosis is just a form of diffusion. They are both the movement of substances and both require a concentration gradient.
Does osmosis require protein?
Nope! Osmosis is simply the movement of H2O over a membrane from high concentration to low concentration. It's a form of passive diffusion!
Is osmosis a form of diffusion?
Yes. Osmosis is a special case of diffusion - in involves just water diffusing across a semipermeable membranes - like in cell membranes.
What Small droplets of liquid can pass through a cell membrane by the process of?
One method of movement across the membrane is by diffusion, which is related to osmosis.
What does osmosis and diffusion have in comin?
They are both a form of passive transport. By the way it is spelt "common"
