GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Osmosis is a form of passive transport when water molecules move from low solute concentration(high water concentration) to high solute or low water concentration across a membrane that is not permeable to the solute. There is a form of passive transport called facilitated diffusion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both diffusion and osmosis are passive transport processes, which means they do not require any input of extra energy to occur. In both diffusion and osmosis, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Water, which can quickly pass through the membrane via channel proteins, will begin to leave the cell at a higher rate than it enters, with a net movement to the area with a high concentration of A, thus lowering the concentration. This is an example of osmosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules down a concentration gradient through a semi-permeable membrane. Active transport is the movement of a substance against a concentration gradient.

Detailed explanation-5: -In osmosis, water moves from high concentration to low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. Osmosis does not require energy, i.e. ATP for the movement. Passive diffusion is the movement of solute from high concentration to low concentration. They do not require ATP to carry out the movement.
