Which statement correctly classifies the energy requirement of osmosis?

It always consumes ATP at membrane pumps.
It requires no direct cellular energy input.Respuesta correcta
It occurs only while a cell is respiring rapidly.
It is powered by contraction of the cell membrane.

Explicación

Osmosis is passive, with net water movement arising from a water-potential difference rather than direct cellular energy use. Energy-powered solute pumping can create gradients, but that does not make the water movement itself ATP-driven.
