Osmosis is a type of passive transport that occurs when water diffuses through a cell membrane.
as diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
Osmosis is a very specific type of diffusion. Osmosis is defined as the movement of water from higher concentration to lower concentration. This type of diffusion is unique as it only really involves water movement which occurs through a membrane that is considered semi-permable.
This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.
Osmosis is defined as the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. In theory water could be actively pumped and it would still count as osmosis so it might not always be passive. But in cells water passes through proteins called Aquaporins which allow the passive transport of water. LONG TO SHORT YES IT IS PASSIVE
Really? osmosis.

Osmosis is the diffusion of fluid through a semipermeable membrane.
Osmosis is a very specific type of diffusion. Osmosis is defined as the movement of water from higher concentration to lower concentration. This type of diffusion is unique as it only really involves water movement which occurs through a membrane that is considered semi-permable.
Movement of water is a passive process called osmosis. It always moves from an area of higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water.
Yes, osmosis is defined as the net movement of water molecules from an area where they are highly concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated across a semi-permeable membrane such as a cell surface membrane.
Diffusion and osmosis differ because diffusion is the process by which molecules spread out, or move from areas with high concentration to low concentration, and osmosis is the diffusion of water. Osmosis is a type of diffusion relating to water. It is usually used to describe the diffusion of water across a membrane (such as the cell membrane). Osmosis is also defined as the flow of solvent from a region of higher pressure toward a region of low pressure.
simple answer osmosis defined as the diffusion of water from a area of high concentration to a area of low concentration.
This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.
Osmosis is
Osmosis is defined as the passive movement of water molecules from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration through a partially permeable membrane; water molecules are thus exhibiting the movement.
The movement of water through the root hair cells takes place via osmosis. The concentration of water in the roots is however greater than the concentration of water in the soil and thus the movement of molecules across the concentration gradient will require energy. thus the osmosis in plants is an active process.Osmosis is defined as the passive transport of water. It is never active.(i.e. if it's an active process then it's not called osmosis).See Turgor pressure to confirm.
