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
In biology (and cut potatoes in baths) this process is called Osmosis; in the Water Purification Industry the process called Reverse Osmosis is employed.
Active Transport.
Active transport, or reverse osmosis; depending upon conditions.
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.
