DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ENDOMOSIC AND ENDOPLASMIC????
⬇️⬇️
The key difference between the two processes is that in endosmosis the movement of water inside the cell while in the case of exosmosis the elimination of water out of it. ... Exosmosis occurs if the cells are in hypertonic solutions due to which the cells shrink.
Explanation:
Difference Between Endosmosis And Exosmosis
Endosmosis
Exosmosis
The solvent moves into the cell.
(Endo = inside)
The solvent moves out of the cell.
(Exo = outside)
Osmosis towards the inside of a cell.
Osmosis towards the outside of a cell.
Occurs when there is lower osmotic pressure.
Occurs when the osmotic pressure is higher.
Hypotonic solutions induce endosmosis in cells (distilled water is hypotonic because it contains no solute).
Hypertonic solutions induce exosmosis in cells (Intravenous Fluid is often hypertonic as it has many solutes).
Higher water potential of the surrounding areas when compared to the cytosol (the watery part of cytoplasm in a cell).
Lower water potential of the surrounding areas when compared to the cytosol.
As a result, the cell swells.
As a result, the cell shrinks.
Example: Raisins swell when placed in normal water.
Example: Raisins shrivel when placed in a concentrated salt solution.
