Answer 1

Answer:

Osmosis is a process of movement of particles from higher concentrations to lower concentrations through a semipermiable membrane. This has both biological and industrial importance.

In biological process for example in plants water and minerals are absorbed by plant roots.

Industrial importance of osmosis is mainly observed in food industry.

To prevent food items from contamination.

Salt and preservatives are added to increase concentration.

Answer 2
