Osmosis is the movement of water (solvent) over a semipermeable membrane - as long as there is a difference in concentrations of osmotically active substances (proteins for instance) on the two sides of the membrane, the water keeps moving to the side where concentration is higher, until there's no longer a difference. Water hence moves freely, passively, from a lower water concentration to a higher one. Active transport usually happens against an electrochemical gradient, i.e. energy (ATP) is used to pump a substance (solute) over a non-permeable membrane from lower to higher concentration. In this case it is the specific substance, not water, that moves over the membrane. The way of movement is different and the transported molecule is different in the two scenarios, but in both cases the molecule moves from a lower to a higher concentration with a membrane separating the two solutions.
active transport and osmosis
They are both the movement of particles but active transport uses energy, so it can move against the concentration gradient.
Osmosis requires cell energy while active transport does not.
Passive Transport, i think.
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.

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.
