No - osmosis is a passive process. It is the movement of water into an area of higher solute concentration in order to achieve equilibrium. It can also sometimes be used to describe the movement of another solvent (not water) in a similar manner.

What energy is required for osmosis?
nothingggggg
What are the conditions required for osmosis to occur?
The following conditions are required for osmosis to occur: 1) A selectively-permeable membrane 2) Concentration difference
Osmosis does not require what?
Osmosis does not require a cell to expand its own energy. Osmosis is a type of diffusion process for water.
What is the difffrence between diffusion and osmosis?
1 diff. Semi permiable membrane is required in osmosis while it is not required in diffusion. 2 diff. Osmosis cn occur only in liquid medium while diffusion cn occur in all mediums.
How are osmosis and diffusion similar and how are they different?
Osmosis is where the water or other particles go from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This is often against a pressure gradient. This type of reaction involves a process known as ACTIVE TRANSPORT where ATP (adenotriphosphate) is required (energy required).Diffusion is where the products even themselves out through a given solution. This process is done by passive transport, where NO energy or ATP are required.Osmosis is diffusion through a semi-permeable membrane.

What is the only substance that undergo osmosis?
It is water. Water can move from a region of high solute concentration to a region of low solute concentrations. Osmosis is a passive process and no energy is required.There are many things that undergo osmosis. For example- resins, cells etc.
Osmosis does not require what?
Osmosis does not require a cell to expand its own energy. Osmosis is a type of diffusion process for water.
What is Comparison between active transport and osmosis?
active transport requirs energy; osmosis requires very little to no energy
What are advantage of osmosis?
it requires no energy
Does osmosis use cell energy?
No
What is the source of energy for osmosis?
kinetic
How can osmosis be used to transfer energy?
It can't. As osmosis is the natural movement of water down a water potential gradient, it requires no energy.
What process requires membrane proteins but not energy?
Osmosis is the membrane activity that does not require the expenditure of energy by the cell. It does not require any input of energy.
Is a colligative property of solutions in which the pressure created by osmosis equals the pressure required to prevent osmosis.?
distillation
