No, the movement of water molecules during osmosis is passive and does not require energy input from the cell. It is driven by the concentration gradient of solutes across a selectively permeable membrane. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
Both active transport and osmosis are processes that involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane. However, active transport requires the use of energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while osmosis involves the passive movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.
Diffusion, osmosis, and active transport are methods by which a cell can move molecules across its membrane. Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. Active transport requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
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.
The cell membrane, specifically the phospholipid bilayer, is responsible for facilitating diffusion, osmosis, and active transport of molecules in and out of the cell. Various proteins, such as ion channels and pumps, play a role in active transport processes by assisting in the movement of specific molecules against their concentration gradients.
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.

However, active transport requires the use of energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while osmosis involves the passive movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.
If it is the movement of molecules then it is diffusion. If it the movement of water then it is osmosis

Osmosis and active transport are both mechanisms used by cells to transport molecules across the cell membrane. However, osmosis is a passive process driven by the concentration gradient, while active transport requires energy to move molecules against a concentration gradient. Both processes are essential for maintaining proper cell function and regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

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.
Active transport requires energy input to move molecules against their concentration gradient, from low to high concentration. Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from high to low concentration, while osmosis is the passive movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane driven by differences in solute concentration.
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.
it moves by diffusion, osmosis and active transport
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.
Osmosis is a passive transport process because it does not require energy to move molecules across a semipermeable membrane. It relies on the concentration gradient of solute particles to drive the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. In contrast, active transport requires energy in the form of ATP to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
