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.

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.

∙ 13y agoNope. Osmosis (the diffusion of water) is a form of passive transport because no energy is required and the molecules go from areas of high concentration to areas with a lower concentration.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes, osmosis is a passive process, as it does not require input energy in the form of ATP.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoOsmosis is the diffusion of water trough a selectively permeable membrane. However, water passes quite easily across most membranes. So it's mostly known as passive transport

thank you very muchWiki User

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.
What is the relationship between osmosis and active transplant?
I think you mean "Active Transport" The main differences between the two is that osmosis does not use energy and active transport does. Also osmosis moves from a higher concentration of solution to a lower concentration, whereas active transport can be used to go from a lower concentration of solution to a higher concentration.
What requires energy diffusion fcilitated diffusion osmosis active transport?
b and c active transpot and faciliated
What is an example of active transport through a cell membrane?
Osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. I'm assuming you mean active transport of plasma into a red blood cell.
What includes diffusion osmosis and facilitated diffusion?
diffusion and osmosis are types of ways to get materials into or out of a cell
What processes can take place in a root hair cell when oxygen is not available?
active transport and osmosis
Osmosis and active transport?
osmosis is transfer of solution through a semi permeable membrane, and active transport isn't
Which statement concerning osmosis and active transport is NOT correct?
Osmosis requires cell energy while active transport does not.
How is active transport different from osmosis?
active transport uses energy
How is active transport different from osmosis's?
active transport uses energy
What is Comparison between active transport and osmosis?
active transport requirs energy; osmosis requires very little to no energy
Difference between osmosis and active transport?
The difference between osmosis and active transport is that osmosis takes place only in water molecule and active transport takes place in takes place in the internal lining of the small intestine. 2 osmosis takes place in presence of concentration gradient and active transport against the concentration gradient.
Is diffusion and osmosis both active transport?
no they are passive transport
Is osmosis in passive or active transport?
Passive Transport, i think.
How does active transport differ from osmosis?
weener!
Is osmosis active or a passive transport?
Passive.
What is active transport in a plant?
a houseplant in dry soil is this process diffusion,osmosis,or active transport
