No, osmosis is a special type of diffusion in which a water molecule is able to passively transport through a membrane without a protein. Although it is polar, it's extremely small size makes this possible
No, osmosis does not require a membrane-bound carrier for transport. Osmosis is the passive movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. The process occurs spontaneously and does not require carrier proteins.
Facilitated diffusion is a process that relies on membrane proteins to transport molecules across the cell membrane without the need for energy input. These proteins act as channels or carriers to facilitate the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Yes, osmosis does not involve the use of proteins in its process. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This process does not require the use of proteins.
Facilitated diffusion does not require energy but relies on carrier proteins to transport molecules across the cell membrane. The carrier proteins assist in the movement of specific molecules down their concentration gradient.
No, osmosis does not involve transport proteins. Osmosis is the passive movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane in response to a concentration gradient. Transport proteins are involved in facilitated diffusion and active transport processes.

In osmosis, large molecules like proteins and polysaccharides do not move across the membrane. Only smaller molecules such as water and ions can pass through the membrane during osmosis.

No, in osmosis water molecules move from higher water concentration to a lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. Proteins are much smaller matter.
Facilitated diffusion requires the presence of membrane channels or transporters to move molecules across the membrane. Osmosis, on the other hand, does not require membrane channels as it involves the passive movement of water molecules through the lipid bilayer of the membrane.
no
Large molecules such as proteins are typically unable to move across the membrane during osmosis. One example is starch molecules, which are too large to pass through the membrane pores.
Water molecules cross the cell membrane through a process called osmosis, which is driven by the concentration gradient of water inside and outside the cell. Aquaporin proteins on the cell membrane facilitate the movement of water molecules into and out of the cell.
