Question
what type of transport is osmosis?
oa facilitated diffusion
ob passive transport
oc simple diffusion
od active transport
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi - permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. It does not require energy input and is a form of passive transport. Facilitated diffusion involves the use of transport proteins for non - water molecules. Simple diffusion is for small non - polar molecules other than water. Active transport requires energy.
