Open in App
Solution

Active transport involves:
1. Use of energy
2. Movement against concentration gradient
3. Special membrane components.
Osmosis involves :
1. No use of energy
2. Movement along the concentration gradient
3. Any semi permeable membrane
These two are not the same things and osmosis is not an example of active transport.
So, the correct answer is 'False'.
