The movement of water through the root hair cells takes place via osmosis. The concentration of water in the roots is however greater than the concentration of water in the soil and thus the movement of molecules across the concentration gradient will require energy. thus the osmosis in plants is an active process.
Osmosis is defined as the passive transport of water. It is never active.
(i.e. if it's an active process then it's not called osmosis).
See Turgor pressure to confirm.
What else can I help you with?
Is osmosis active or a passive transport?
Passive.
Is osmosis active trasport or passive trasport?
Osmosis is an example of Passive Transport.
Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
Is diffusion and osmosis both active transport?
no they are passive transport
Is ATP needed for osmosis?
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.
Is diffusion and osmosis types of active tranport?
No they're both passive transport
What are the kinds of transports?
Active transportation and passive transportation (found in facilitated diffusion and osmosis)
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 osmosis in passive or active transport?
Osmosis is a type of passive transport, as it does not require energy input from the cell to move molecules across a membrane. It relies on the concentration gradient to drive the movement of water molecules.
Why is osmosis an example of passive transport and not active transport?
passive transport does not require energy eg. diffusion and osmosis. Therefore, osmosis is a passive transport. Active transport requires energy eg. a molecule going from a low concentration from a high concentration.
Is osmosis active or passive?
Osmosis is a passive process, meaning it does not require energy input from the cell. It is the movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration.
Is osmosis of active transport or passive transport?
Osmosis does not require ATP so it is a passive transport.Osmosis is a form of passive transport. Water molecules are small enough to move freely across the plasma membrane without the use of cellular energy.
