Osmosis is the movement of solvent particles from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. Active absorption involves use of ATP.

1. Osmosis is a passive process.
2. Active absorption requires ATP.
3. Osmosis involves movement of water molecules.
4. Osmosis occurs through a selectively permeable membrane.

Correct answer: Active absorption requires ATP.

Solution

Active absorption is an energy-requiring process, so it depends on ATP. Osmosis, by contrast, is passive and does not use ATP.
