Answer:

Passive transport involves transportation of molecules in line or according to the concentration gradient.

Osmosis is a type of passive transport which involves the flow of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.

Reverse osmosis however involves the use of energy for transporting molecules as a result of it being against the concentration gradient. This is what makes it an active process.
