Osmosis is the net movement of water particles from a area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential and this does not require any extra energy input like in active transport. Therefore energy is conserved.

Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?

Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.


Does the particles need to contain kinetic energy for osmosis and diffusion?

Yes, particles need to contain kinetic energy in order for osmosis and diffusion to occur. This kinetic energy allows the particles to move and spread out from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through the process of osmosis and diffusion.


What types of transport mechanisms through the cell membrane are passive?

diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis


What word includes diffusion osmosis and facilitated diffusion?

The word that includes diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion is "passive transport." These are all types of passive transport processes where molecules move across a membrane without the need for energy input.


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.

Does osmosis require energy?

No, osmosis does not require energy. It is a passive process where solvent molecules move across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.


What is a synonym for osmosis?

Is osmosis an example of facilitated diffusion or active transport?

Osmosis is an example of passive transport, specifically a type of facilitated diffusion. In osmosis, water molecules move across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the use of energy.


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.


Distinguish between osmosis and diffusion?

The difference between Diffusion and Osmosis is by the process of them diffusing and the outcome such as an example of a sugar cube... In Diffusion Molecules move from high concentration just Osmosis although in the diffusion process of "Diffusion" it uses Kinetic energy and Concentration Gradient while "Osmosis" does not require cells to expand energy, in result Osmosis uses Passive Transport of Water.
