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 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.

Nope. 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.
Yes, osmosis is a passive process, as it does not require input energy in the form of ATP.
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
it is a passive transport
thank you very muchPassive transport--active transport requires energy.
Passive diffusion of water
Passive, no energy is needed.
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.
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.
b and c active transpot and faciliated
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.
diffusion and osmosis are types of ways to get materials into or out of a cell
active transport and osmosis
osmosis is transfer of solution through a semi permeable membrane, and active transport isn't
Osmosis requires cell energy while active transport does not.
active transport uses energy
active transport uses energy
active transport requirs energy; osmosis requires very little to no energy
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.
no they are passive transport
Passive Transport, i think.
weener!
Passive.
a houseplant in dry soil is this process diffusion,osmosis,or active transport
