Active transport occurs when molecules are moved from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. The cell membrane acts as a semi-permeable barrier during the process. Energy is required for active transport.

Osmosis is a type of passive transport. Passive transport is similar to active transport except it requires no energy and molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis occurs only if the molecules moving across the cell membrane are WATER molecules.

Difference between osmosis and active transport?

The difference between osmosis and active transport is that osmosis takes place only in water molecule and active transport takes place in takes place in the internal lining of the small intestine. 2 osmosis takes place in presence of concentration gradient and active transport against the concentration gradient.


Is diffusion and osmosis both active transport?

no they are passive transport


Is sugar osmosis or passive transport or active transport?

Sugar transport can occur through both passive transport, such as facilitated diffusion or simple diffusion, and active transport, such as primary or secondary active transport processes. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane, so sugar transport itself is not osmosis.

What is the difference between active transport and osmosis?

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane, and does not require the input of energy. Active transport requires energy input.


Which statement concerning osmosis and active transport is NOT correct?

The statement that osmosis requires energy input from the cell is not correct. Osmosis is a passive process that does not require energy input from the cell, while active transport does require energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
