no, Osmosis is the movement of water from a higher water potential to a low water potential. This requires no energy.

Active transport requires energy and it involves substances moving from a lower concentration to a higher.

Difference between osmosis and active transport?

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.

Passive.


Is sugar osmosis or passive transport or active transport?

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.
