What is the difference between passive transport active transport diffusion and osmosis?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
the main difference is that active transport requires ATP (energy), where as osmosis and diffusion do not.
However, there are a lot of other differences in what they actually do to the cell.

∙ 11y agoactive transport- The movement of materials through a cell membrane using cellular energy.
osmosis- The diffusion of water molecules through a selctively permeable membrane.
Diffusion- The process by which molecus move from an area of higher concentration to a area of lower concetration.
Active transport is the movement of materials through a cell membrane using cellular energy. Osmosis is the diffusion of waer molecules that only lets certain H2O, O2, and CO2, to pass through into/out of a cell.

What includes diffusion osmosis and facilitated diffusion?
diffusion and osmosis are types of ways to get materials into or out of a cell
Three types of passive transport?
There are three forms of passive transport, or the movement of biochemical and other atomic or molecular substances across the cell membranes. They are: osmosis, simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion, and filtration.
What are the 3 methods of passive transport?
1. Facilitated Diffusion 2. Filtration 3. Osmosis
What is the term for the diffusion of water across the semipermeable membrane?
The term for the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is osmosis. Osmosis is when the molecules of a solvent move from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated one. This equalizes the concentrations on each side of the member.
What two requirements distinguish osmosis from diffusion?
Diffusion and osmosis are both types of passive transport. The two requirements that distinguish osmosis from diffusion are the presence of a membrane and the type of substance.
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.
What processes can take place in a root hair cell when oxygen is not available?
active transport and osmosis
Osmosis and diffusion are examples of passive transport?
Yes, osmosis and diffusion are both examples of passive transport.
What id the difference between active and passive transport?
Active transport requires ATP and passive transport does not. Active transport goes against the concentration gradient and passive transport goes with the concentration gradient and includes osmosis, diffusion and facilitated diffusion.
Distinguish between osmosis and diffusion?
The difference between Diffusion and Osmosis is by the process of them diffusing and the outcome such as an example of a sugar cube... In Diffusion Molecules move from high concentration just Osmosis although in the diffusion process of "Diffusion" it uses Kinetic energy and Concentration Gradient while "Osmosis" does not require cells to expand energy, in result Osmosis uses Passive Transport of Water.
Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
What includes diffusion osmosis and facilitated diffusion?
diffusion and osmosis are types of ways to get materials into or out of a cell
What cause certain things to enter cell?
Things can enter the cell through various processes, such as osmosis, diffusion and active transport. Passive transport (diffusion/osmosis) occurs because of a difference in concentration across the membrane.

What types of transport mechanisms through the cell membrane are passive?
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
An example of passive transport process is?
Diffusion, filtration, and osmosis. Diffusion.
