No - neither of these require any energy input. They are therefore examples of passive transport. They both involve movement from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.

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.


Is energy used in diffusion osmosis or active transport?

Energy is used in active transport, where molecules are moved against their concentration gradient with the help of proteins in the cell membrane. In contrast, diffusion and osmosis are passive processes that do not require energy as molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.


What processes take material into cells?

Two main processes are involved in taking materials into cells: passive transport and active transport. Passive transport includes simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis, which do not require energy. Active transport, on the other hand, uses energy to move materials across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient.


How active transport is differ with Diffusion and Osmosis?

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.


Diffusion and osmosis are forms of what?

Diffusion and osmosis are forms of passive transport, which is the movement of particles across a membrane without requiring energy input from the cell.

Are diffusion and osmosis types of active transport?

No, diffusion and osmosis are passive transport processes, not active transport. Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, while osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy and moves substances against their concentration gradient.


Are diffusion and osmosis types active transport?

No. (Active xport would be in the opposite direction.)


In what ways do molecules move?

Diffusion osmosis active transport all of these are methods by which a cell?

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.


What 3 ways can substances enter and leave a cell?

Substances can move in and out of a cell in several ways. Diffusion is when a substance will distribute itself in or out of a cell until the distribution on both sides of the cell is balanced. Active transport is when a cell transports a substance across the cell membrane that would not normally be able to pass through. Osmosis is the movement of water from areas with few dissolved dissolved substances to areas with high dissolved substances.


What is the difference between active transport and osmosis?

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane, and does not require the input of energy. Active transport requires energy input.
