Osmosis 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

Is osmosis active trasport or passive trasport?
Osmosis is an example of 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.
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 active or a passive transport?
Passive.
Is osmosis in passive or active transport?
Passive Transport, i think.
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
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.
Is diffusion and osmosis both active transport?
no they are passive transport
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.
Is osmosis active or passive transport?
It is passive transport because the water flows from a more highly concentrated solution to a less concentrated solution.
Is osmosis an example of facilitated diffusion or active transport?
No. Facilitated diffusion is an example of passive transport because it does not require the cell to expend energy.
