Question

Is reverse osmosis an active process or passive process?Explain with proper points.

Answer 1

Osmosis is passive transport where water follows down the gradient across a semi-permeable membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. ... As the process of reverse osmosis requires energy for transporting molecules against the concentration gradient, it is an active process.

Answer 2

Answer:

Going by the traditional meaning of active and passive transport, reverse osmosis is an example of passive transport. This is because it reverses the natural process of osmosis, which transports solvent from area of lower concentration to higher concentration.
