Osmosis is defined as the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. In theory water could be actively pumped and it would still count as osmosis so it might not always be passive. But in cells water passes through proteins called Aquaporins which allow the passive transport of water.
LONG TO SHORT YES IT IS PASSIVE

No, ATP is not needed for osmosis. Osmosis is a passive process that occurs due to the concentration gradient of solutes across a semi-permeable membrane. ATP is required for active transport processes, not osmosis.
No, osmosis is a passive process that does not require the input of ATP. It is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Osmosis is a type of passive transport, as it does not require energy input from the cell to move molecules across a membrane. It relies on the concentration gradient to drive the movement of water molecules.
No, osmosis does not require ATP because it is a passive process in which water molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. ATP is not needed to facilitate this movement.
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
Osmosis is an example of Passive Transport.

Osmosis is a passive transport process. It involves the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration without the use of energy.
