Reverse osmosis is active transport or passive??

Meghna Thapar 3 years, 11 months ago

Reverse osmosis occurs when water is moved across the membrane against the concentration gradient, from lower concentration to higher concentration. Reverse osmosis is an active process.  Osmosis is 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 form or passive transport.
