Want this question answered?
osmosis is transfer of solution through a semi permeable membrane, and active transport isn't
Osmosis is the diffraction of water through a permeable membrane using no energy, whereas active transport is the moving of particles across a membrane against a concentration gradient. Basically, Osmosis moves water with no energy. Active transport moves particles, in general, with the use of chemical energy like ATP.
active and passive transport are two... if you are asking for examples of membrane type transport other than osmosis
It is passive transport because the water flows from a more highly concentrated solution to a less concentrated solution.
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.
active transport and osmosis
osmosis is transfer of solution through a semi permeable membrane, and active transport isn't
Osmosis requires cell energy while active transport does not.
active transport uses energy
active transport uses energy
active transport requirs energy; osmosis requires very little to no energy
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.
no they are passive transport
Passive Transport, i think.
weener!
Passive.
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.
