Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane (from a low-concentration gradient to a high-concentration gradient).
Ummm how in the world does that answer the question "What kind of transport is Osmosis?" Is it Active or Passive that's what we want to know however I do believe from my information that the answer in which we are looking for is PASSIVE. PLEASE correct me if I am incorrect and excuse my mistake.

What transport type is osmosis?
osmosis is something with water
Osmosis and active transport?
osmosis is transfer of solution through a semi permeable membrane, and active transport isn't
Is osmosis active or passive transport?
It is passive transport because the water flows from a more highly concentrated solution to a less concentrated solution.
What is a non example of osmosis?
active and passive transport are two... if you are asking for examples of membrane type transport other than osmosis
Diffusion and osmosis are forms of what?
passive transport in and out of cells
Osmosis does it need energy?
No, actually diffusion is a kind of passive transport, and osmosis is a kind of diffusion. Any passive transport can happen without energy (contrary to active transport). Since, all the things you listed were passive transport, they happen down the concentration gradient and need no ATP.
What processes can take place in a root hair cell when oxygen is not available?
active transport and osmosis
What transport type is osmosis?
osmosis is something with water
Osmosis and diffusion are examples of passive transport?
Yes, osmosis and diffusion are both examples of passive transport.
Why is osmosis an example of passive transport and not active transport?
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.
Does Osmosis require ATP?
No, osmosis is a form of passive transport.
Passive transport of water is known as?
floating
Osmosis and active transport?
osmosis is transfer of solution through a semi permeable membrane, and active transport isn't
Which statement concerning osmosis and active transport is NOT correct?
Osmosis requires cell energy while active transport does not.
What is Comparison between active transport and osmosis?
active transport requirs energy; osmosis requires very little to no energy
Is diffusion and osmosis both active transport?
no they are passive transport
Is osmosis in passive or active transport?
Passive Transport, i think.
