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 and active transport?
osmosis is transfer of solution through a semi permeable membrane, and active transport isn't
What is a non example of osmosis?
active and passive transport are two... if you are asking for examples of membrane type transport other than osmosis
Is osmosis active or passive transport?
It is passive transport because the water flows from a more highly concentrated solution to a less concentrated solution.
Is osmosis trans active?
Osmosis is a passive form of diffusion as it travels downa concentration gradiant, as opposed to active transport; a type of diffusion that can go against a conc. grad.
Three ways that substances can move into and out of a cell?
One way is diffusion, another is osmosis and Active transport.
How is active transport different from osmosis?
active transport uses energy
How is active transport different from osmosis's?
active transport uses energy
