It is passive transport because the water flows from a more highly concentrated solution to a less concentrated solution.
Sugar transport can occur through both passive transport, such as facilitated diffusion or simple diffusion, and active transport, such as primary or secondary active transport processes. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane, so sugar transport itself is not osmosis.
Osmosis and active transport are both mechanisms used by cells to transport molecules across the cell membrane. However, osmosis is a passive process driven by the concentration gradient, while active transport requires energy to move molecules against a concentration gradient. Both processes are essential for maintaining proper cell function and regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
Active transport requires energy input to move molecules against their concentration gradient, from low to high concentration. Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from high to low concentration, while osmosis is the passive movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane driven by differences in solute concentration.
Diffusion and osmosis are forms of passive transport, which is the movement of particles across a membrane without requiring energy input from the cell.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane (from a low-concentration gradient to a high-concentration gradient). Ummm how in the world does that answer the question "What kind of transport is Osmosis?" Is it Active or Passive that's what we want to know however I do believe from my information that the answer in which we are looking for is PASSIVE. PLEASE correct me if I am incorrect and excuse my mistake.
Passive.
Osmosis is an example of Passive Transport.
no they are passive transport
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
Sugar transport can occur through both passive transport, such as facilitated diffusion or simple diffusion, and active transport, such as primary or secondary active transport processes. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane, so sugar transport itself is not osmosis.
Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).
Osmosis is a type of passive transport, as it does not require energy input from the cell to move molecules across a membrane. It relies on the concentration gradient to drive the movement of water molecules.
No they're both passive 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.
Active Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane through the expenditure of energy. Passive Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane without the expenditure of energy. Bulk Transport is the type of active transport. Diffusion and Osmosis are type of passive transport.
Osmosis does not require ATP so it is a passive transport.Osmosis is a form of passive transport. Water molecules are small enough to move freely across the plasma membrane without the use of cellular energy.
It is a type of passive diffusion, as the water travels along a concentration gradiant. As opposed to active transport, where the substances can pass against a concentration gradiant.
