It is a type of passive diffusion, as the water travels along a concentration gradiant. As opposed to active transport, where the substances can pass against a concentration gradiant.
Osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. I'm assuming you mean active transport of plasma into a red blood cell.
Osmosis is the transport of water across semi permeable plant membrane. When glucose molecules actively transport to the plant they lower the water potential of the plant and therefore water moves in to balance that. This is how active transport assists osmosis.
I think you mean "Active Transport" The main differences between the two is that osmosis does not use energy and active transport does. Also osmosis moves from a higher concentration of solution to a lower concentration, whereas active transport can be used to go from a lower concentration of solution to a higher concentration.
Pass transports require no energy and active requires energy. Osmosis is when it travels through water.
The types of particle transport mechanisms by which particles move into and out of the cell are diffusion, osmosis, and active transport.
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
weener!
Passive.
Sugar transport can occur through both passive transport, such as facilitated diffusion or simple diffusion, and active transport, such as primary or secondary active transport processes. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane, so sugar transport itself is not osmosis.
a houseplant in dry soil is this process diffusion,osmosis,or active transport
Osmosis is an example of Passive Transport.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane, and does not require the input of energy. Active transport requires energy input.
The statement that osmosis requires energy input from the cell is not correct. Osmosis is a passive process that does not require energy input from the cell, while active transport does require energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
