It is passive transport because the water flows from a more highly concentrated solution to a less concentrated solution.

What is a non example of osmosis?
active and passive transport are two... if you are asking for examples of membrane type transport other than osmosis
Is osmosis active or passive?
It is passive.
Is osmosis trans active?
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.
Osmosis and active transport?
osmosis is transfer of solution through a semi permeable membrane, and active transport isn't
Diffusion and osmosis are forms of what?
passive transport in and out of cells
Is osmosis active or a passive transport?
Passive.
Is osmosis in passive or active transport?
Passive Transport, i think.
Is osmosis active trasport or passive trasport?
Osmosis is an example of Passive Transport.
Is diffusion and osmosis both active transport?
no they are passive transport
Why is osmosis an example of passive transport and not active transport?
passive transport does not require energy eg. diffusion and osmosis. Therefore, osmosis is a passive transport. Active transport requires energy eg. a molecule going from a low concentration from a high concentration.
Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
What id the difference between active and passive transport?
Active transport requires ATP and passive transport does not. Active transport goes against the concentration gradient and passive transport goes with the concentration gradient and includes osmosis, diffusion and facilitated diffusion.
What are two forms of passive transport of a cell?
Two forms of passive transport (or transport not involving energy/ATP) are diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Another form is osmosis. Also keep in mind that passive transport is for smaller particles.
Is diffusion an example of active transport or passive transport?
Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).
When are active and passive transport and their types used?
Active transport uses energy in the form of ATP. Active can force electrons against the electron gradient as in the electron transport chain. Passive transport does not use energy and an example of passive transpost is osmosis.
What transport leave the cell without the use of energy?
Passive Transport, and if your dealing with liquids its is Osmosis. Passive Transport is the act of transport with no use of energy: hence the word "Passive." But Active Transport is when it does use energy: hence the word "Active."
Passive and active transport?
Active Transpot. -Pumps -Endocytosis -Exocytosis Passive Transport - Diffusion -osmosis -Facilitated Diffusion active requires energy passive doesnt. active against concentration gradient, passive along concentration gradient.
