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

Is sugar osmosis or passive transport or active transport?

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.


How is osmosis similar to active transport?

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.


How active transport is differ with Diffusion and Osmosis?

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 what?

Diffusion and osmosis are forms of passive transport, which is the movement of particles across a membrane without requiring energy input from the cell.


What kind of transport is osmosis?

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.

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).


Is osmosis in passive or active transport?

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.


Is diffusion and osmosis types of active tranport?

No they're both 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.


Distinguish between active and passive transport?

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.


Is osmosis of active transport or 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.


Is osmosis form of active transport or passive transport?

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.
