No, glucose is a substance, osmosis is a process.
Glucose is a simple sugar and is made by photosynthesis in plant cells. Osmosis is the flow of water through a semi-permeable membrane from a region where there is a higher concentration of water to where there is a lower concentration of water.
Osmosis happens in plant cells because the cell membrane is semi-permeable. The direction of water flow depends on how much glucose is dissolved in the cell sap compared to how much is in the liquid surrounding the cells.
Thus glucose is involved in the process of photosynthesis.

Is osmosis the same as diffusion?
yes, but osmosis is specific for the movement of water.
How is osmosis and diffusion alike?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from where there are lots of them, to where there are less of them. Osmosis is the same thing basically, but osmosis is only with water particles.
Is glucose the same as glucose syrup?
Glucose is sugar that the body needs, and may or may not be same as syrup...
Formula of glucose and fructose?
The chemical formula for glucose is C6H12O6.
How is osmosis different than diffusion?
Osmosis is the same thing as diffusion, but occuring only with liquids in a selectively permeable membrane. An example of this is that water entering your cells is osmosis, but oxygen entering is diffusion.
Which process are glucose and amino acids transported into cells?
osmosis
How does active transport of glucose cause osmosis?
Osmosis is the transport of water across semi permeable plant membrane. When glucose molecules actively transport to the plant they lower the water potential of the plant and therefore water moves in to balance that. This is how active transport assists osmosis.
Why is glucose stored as an insoluble compound?
so that it has no effect on osmosis ya moron
Is osmosis the same as diffusion?
yes, but osmosis is specific for the movement of water.
What is the result of diffusion and osmosis through nonliving membranes of sac 1 containing 40 percent glucose suspended in 40 percent glucose?
The glucose was able to go through the sac. The glucose went from high concentration to low concentration. The glucose is permeable.
Will osmosis cause thisIf the concentration of glucose in the water outside of a cell is higher than the concentration inside?
When the concentration of the glucose in the water outside the cell is higher than the concentration inside, the water will then have a tendency to leave the cell. The process of the water leaving the cell will be by osmosis.
How do osmosis and villi play a role in feeding cells the glucose they need?
Osmosis occurs in the small intestines which contain the villi. There are blood vessels connected to the villi so nutrients/glucose in the small intestines diffuses through the semi-permeable membrane of the cells in the blood vessel.
What process does Glucose use to get past a cell wall?
The process by which the glucose get past the cell wall is osmosis which includes the transmission a substance from higher concentration to lower concentration.
What is the result of diffusion and osmosis through nonliving membranes of sac 1 containing 40 percent glucose suspended in distilled water?
The glucose was able to go through the sac. The glucose went from high concentration to low concentration. The glucose is permeable.
How is osmosis and diffusion alike?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from where there are lots of them, to where there are less of them. Osmosis is the same thing basically, but osmosis is only with water particles.
Is glucose the same as glucose syrup?
Glucose is sugar that the body needs, and may or may not be same as syrup...
Is glucose the same thing as carbohydrates?
yes glucose is the same thing as carbohydrates in a plant
