Reverse osmosis is active transport or passive?? |
| Answer» Reverse osmosis\xa0occurs when water is moved across the membrane against the concentration gradient, from lower concentration to higher concentration.\xa0Reverse osmosis\xa0is an\xa0active\xa0process. Osmosis\xa0is the process in which water molecules move from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower potential down a water potential gradient across a partially permeable membrane, so little energy is required to carry out this process, thus it is a\xa0form\xa0or\xa0passive transport. | |
