Reverse osmosis is a form of active transport where water molecules are pushed through a semipermeable membrane against their concentration gradient, similar to how active transport uses energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Both processes require an input of energy to move molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration.
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.
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.
Osmosis is the diffraction of water through a permeable membrane using no energy, whereas active transport is the moving of particles across a membrane against a concentration gradient. Basically, Osmosis moves water with no energy. Active transport moves particles, in general, with the use of chemical energy like ATP.
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.
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.
Active transport, or reverse osmosis; depending upon conditions.
active transport uses energy
active transport uses energy
active transport requirs energy; osmosis requires very little to no energy

Both processes are essential for maintaining proper cell function and regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
The difference between osmosis and active transport is that osmosis takes place only in water molecule and active transport takes place in takes place in the internal lining of the small intestine. 2 osmosis takes place in presence of concentration gradient and active transport against the concentration gradient.
no they are passive transport
weener!
Passive.
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.
Active transport occurs when molecules are moved from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. The cell membrane acts as a semi-permeable barrier during the process. Energy is required for active transport. Osmosis is a type of passive transport. Passive transport is similar to active transport except it requires no energy and molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis occurs only if the molecules moving across the cell membrane are WATER molecules.
