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.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane. Diffusion is a passive transport that goes from a higher concentration area to a lower concentration area.Passive transport means that there is no energy required to move it.
The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is responsible for regulating the movement of water and substances through processes like active transport and passive transport. It acts as a selectively permeable barrier, allowing certain molecules to pass through while blocking others.
Proteins that carry out passive transport include channel proteins and carrier proteins. Passive transport is "passive" because it does not use energy. The use of passive transport is also called "facilitated diffusion." Proteins that carry out passive transport includes the proton pump and the sodium-potassium pump; these require energy to function.
Transport through aquaporins is passive, as water molecules move across the cell membrane through these channels driven by osmotic gradients without the need for energy expenditure.
Water can use both passive and active transport mechanisms. Passive transport involves movement of water molecules across a membrane without the need for energy, while active transport involves the use of energy to move water molecules against their concentration gradient.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water trough a selectively permeable membrane. However, water passes quite easily across most membranes. So it's mostly known as passive transport
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.
Water diffusing from a high to low area (osmosis) is called passive transport.
Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).

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.
