(1) How does endosmosis and exosmosis occur in the cell?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Endosmosis is movement of water from outside to inside of cell. In hypotonic solution, concentration of the solvent is high outside the cell. Therefore, water/solvent enters the cell causing the contents of the plant cell to press against the cell wall. In hypertonic solution, exosmosis will take place, i.e. the solvent will move from inside to outside of cell

Answer 2

Answer:

Exosmosis is the outward movement of water from cell to outside surrounding when cell is placed in hypertinic solution. It leads to shrinkage of cell.

Endosmosis is the inward movement of water from surrounding to cell placed in hypotonic solution. It leads to increase in cell size
