Osmosis is a passive form of diffusion as it travels downa concentration gradiant, as opposed to active transport; a type of diffusion that can go against a conc. grad.
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 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.
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.
No, osmosis is a passive process where water molecules move across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. Active processes, on the other hand, require energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
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 requirs energy; osmosis requires very little to no energy
Osmosis is an example of Passive Transport.
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.
active transport uses energy

Passive.
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
The statement that osmosis requires energy input from the cell is not correct. Osmosis is a passive process that does not require energy input from the cell, while active transport does require energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane, and does not require the input of energy. Active transport requires energy input.
No. (Active xport would be in the opposite direction.)
