Question

in osmosis, water is actively transported across a cell membrane. true or false

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Osmosis is a passive - transport process. Water moves across a cell membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration through a semi - permeable membrane, without the use of energy. Active transport requires energy (ATP) and carrier proteins to move substances against their concentration gradient. Since osmosis does not involve energy - dependent movement, water is not actively transported in osmosis.

Answer:

False
