OSMOSIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF FACILITATED DIFFUSION. Osmosis involves the movement of solutes in a solution across the concentration gradient, from the region of lower concentration to the region of higher concentration. Facilitated diffusion does not need energy to occur while active transport requires energy to occur.
