Question

Compare to osmosis, active transport is a rapid process.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Osmosis:

The passive diffusion that occurs via a semi-permeable membrane is known as osmosis. In osmosis, water molecules flow from high concentration areas to low concentration areas.

1. The active transport process moves against the gradient. Therefore, it requires energy to perform the transport.
2. Osmosis moves along the concentration gradient. So, it does not require any energy.
3. This makes osmosis a more rapid process.

The statement “Compare to osmosis, active transport is a rapid process” is false.
