Osmosis is the diffraction of water through a permeable membrane using no energy, whereas active transport is the moving of particles across a membrane against a concentration gradient. Basically, Osmosis moves water with no energy. Active transport moves particles, in general, with the use of chemical energy like ATP.
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
Only water is transported through the process of osmosis.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane, such as that surrounding a cell. Semipermeable indicates that the membrane will allow certain thing to pass through it while preventing others.

osmosis is transfer of solution through a semi permeable membrane, and active transport isn't
It's either diffusion, osmosis or active transport. More information is needed to answer the question fully.
Osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. I'm assuming you mean active transport of plasma into a red blood cell.
Osmosis is a type of passive transport that occurs when water diffuses through a cell membrane.
Considering the cell membrane itself, processes include diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion (passive processes that do not require energy) and active transport (an active process that requires energy).
