Osmosis occurs when there are two solutions of different concentration strength separated by a semipermeable membrane. The membrane must allow water to cross, but not the solutes. Water will then move from the solution of lower concentration strength across the membrane to the solution of higher concentration strength. This movement of water is called osmosis.

Do cellular energy required for osmosis?

No, cellular energy is not directly required for osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration, driven by the concentration gradient. However, cellular energy may be required for maintaining ion concentration imbalances that influence osmosis.

Is ATP needed for osmosis?

No, ATP is not needed for osmosis. Osmosis is a passive process that occurs due to the concentration gradient of solutes across a semi-permeable membrane. ATP is required for active transport processes, not osmosis.


What structure is required for osmosis?

A partially permeable membrane is required for osmosis to occur. This membrane allows the passage of solvent molecules (usually water) while preventing the passage of solute molecules.


What types of materials does osmosis transport?

Osmosis transports water molecules across a partially permeable membrane, such as a cell membrane. It does not transport other types of materials, like ions or larger molecules.


What energy is required for osmosis?

No external energy is required for osmosis to occur. Osmosis is a passive process where solvent molecules move across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration to equalize concentrations.
