A selectively permeable membrane
A partially permeable membrane is required for osmosis to occur. This membrane allows the passage of solvent molecules (usually water) while preventing the passage of solute molecules.
Water molecules cross the membrane during osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.
1 diff. Semi permiable membrane is required in osmosis while it is not required in diffusion. 2 diff. Osmosis cn occur only in liquid medium while diffusion cn occur in all mediums.
Osmosis occurs when there are two solutions of different concentration strength separated by a semipermeable membrane. The membrane must allow water to cross, but not the solutes. Water will then move from the solution of lower concentration strength across the membrane to the solution of higher concentration strength. This movement of water is called osmosis.
No, parchment paper is not typically used in osmosis experiments as it is not a semipermeable membrane required for the process. Osmosis usually involves a selectively permeable membrane that allows solvent molecules to pass through while restricting the passage of solute molecules.

Osmosis
No, osmosis is a special type of diffusion in which a water molecule is able to passively transport through a membrane without a protein. Although it is polar, it's extremely small size makes this possible

No. Osmosis is a form of passive transport.

No, ATP is not needed for osmosis. Osmosis is a passive process that occurs due to the concentration gradient of solutes across a semi-permeable membrane. ATP is required for active transport processes, not osmosis.
No, cellular energy is not directly required for osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration, driven by the concentration gradient. However, cellular energy may be required for maintaining ion concentration imbalances that influence osmosis.
No external energy is required for osmosis to occur. Osmosis is a passive process where solvent molecules move across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration to equalize concentrations.
