Question

Which statement concerning osmosis and active transport is correct?

Answer 1

Active transport requires cell energy while osmosis does not. Active transport requires energy in the form of ATP, while osmosis does not require any energy.

Answer 2

Active transport requires cell energy and osmosis doesn't is the statement concerning osmosis and active transport that is correct.

Active transport is the movement of dissolved substances across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. Active transport requires an input of cellular energy to perform the movement, while osmosis is a form of passive transport which involves the movement of molecules through a semipermeable membrane from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration without the use of energy.
