How much energy ATP is needed for osmosis to occur?

The cell does not need to use any ATP in order for osmosis to occur.


Does osmosis need ATP?

Never. It`s a passive transportation.


Does Osmosis use ATP?

No. Osmosis is passive, meaning it does not require ATP.


The cell does not need to expand energy ATP in order to perform what?

simple diffusion and osmosis


Does Osmosis require ATP?

No, osmosis is a form of passive transport.


Is ATP needed for osmosis?

No - osmosis is the passive movement of water.


Why do your cells need to carry out osmosis?

Cells need to carry out osmosis to stay hydrated. Osmosis does not take any ATP to function. It diffuses through the cell membrane to make it so that the concentration inside the cell is about the same as the concentration levels outside the cell.


What cell does not need to expend energy ATP in order to perform?

No. The cell does need to expend energy in order to perform its life functions.


Osmosis does it need energy?

No, actually diffusion is a kind of passive transport, and osmosis is a kind of diffusion. Any passive transport can happen without energy (contrary to active transport). Since, all the things you listed were passive transport, they happen down the concentration gradient and need no ATP.


Why do you use osmosis?

Because osmosis is passive, which means it does not require energy. It allows the transfer of water to where its needed, without cells needing to expend any ATP.


Diffusion and Osmosis are passive transport mechanisms meaning they do not require?

They do not require energy, which is often in the form of ATP.


What cellular process does not require ATP?

Diffusion and Osmosis.... I think. It would be better to double check ;)
