Diffusion and osmosis both come under passive transport and do not need energy.
Both of them are down the concentration gradient.

Reverse Osmosis is an industrial process that Does Use Energy.

What process requires membrane proteins but not energy?
Osmosis is the membrane activity that does not require the expenditure of energy by the cell. It does not require any input of energy.
Does osmosis require a cell to expend its own energy?
No. Osmosis is a passive method of transporting water. It moves water from a high concentration of water to a lower concentration of water. It is really simple diffusion but it is called osmosis because it involves water.
Diffusion and Osmosis are passive transport mechanisms meaning they do not require?
They do not require energy, which is often in the form of ATP.
What help maintain homeostasis in cells does not require energy?
Simple diffusion and osmosis help maintain homeostasis in cells and do not require the cell to expend energy.
Which form of transport across the cell membrane does not require energy but a carrier protein?
Facilitated transport.
Osmosis does not require what?
Osmosis does not require a cell to expand its own energy. Osmosis is a type of diffusion process for water.
What process requires membrane proteins but not energy?
Osmosis is the membrane activity that does not require the expenditure of energy by the cell. It does not require any input of energy.
Is osmosis a natural process?
Yes because it does not require energy
Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
Does osmosis require a cell to expend its own energy?
No. Osmosis is a passive method of transporting water. It moves water from a high concentration of water to a lower concentration of water. It is really simple diffusion but it is called osmosis because it involves water.
What is the difference between active transport and osmosis?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane, and does not require the input of energy. Active transport requires energy input.
Diffusion and Osmosis are passive transport mechanisms meaning they do not require?
They do not require energy, which is often in the form of ATP.
What help maintain homeostasis in cells does not require energy?
Simple diffusion and osmosis help maintain homeostasis in cells and do not require the cell to expend energy.
What does osmosis require that this structure be present?
What does osmosis require that this structure be present?
How is diffusion SIMILAR to osmosis?
Neither of them require energy. that is the major difference.
What process does not require energy to move a substance across a membrane?
Osmosis because it is the equalization of pressure.
Why do you use osmosis?
Because osmosis is passive, which means it does not require energy. It allows the transfer of water to where its needed, without cells needing to expend any ATP.
