Question

Difference between osmosis and exosmosis in points

Answer 1

1) Endosmosis and exosmosis are both types of osmosis, but endosmosis is the movement of water into a cell while exosmosis is the movement of water out of a cell.

2)Endosmosis occurs when the inside of a cell is hypertonic and has a low water potential, while exosmosis occurs when the inside of a cell is hypotonic and has a high water potential.

3)Too much endosmosis or exosmosis can be dangerous.

Endosmosis and exosmosis have to be carefully regulated for cells to remain alive.

or

Movement of solvent

In endosmosis the solvent moves into a cell while in exosmosis the solvent moves out of a cell.

Solute concentration

In endosmosis the higher solute concentration is found inside the cell while in exosmosis the higher solute concentration is found outside the cell.

Solvent concentration

In endosmosis the higher solvent concentration is found outside the cell while in exosmosis the higher solvent concentration is found inside the cell.

Water potential

Water potential in endosmosis is higher outside the cell then inside, while water potential in exosmosis is higher inside the cell than outside the cell.

Effects

In endosmosis the cell becomes swollen and turgid, and may burst (occurs more often in animal cells).

In exosmosis the cytoplasm shrinks and the cell may shrink (occurs more often in animal cells).

Plant example

Water moves by endosmosis into root hair cells from the soil while water moves out of root hair cells by exosmosis into the cortex.

Animal example

Freshwater fish undergo endosmosis while saltwater fish undergo exosmosis.

Human significance

Humans can suffer water intoxication if there is too much endosmosis while they can suffer dehydration if there is too much exosmosis.

Answer 2

This is your answer

Osmosis:-

*Osmosis is the movement of liquid molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration through a partially permeable membrane.

*An example of osmosis can be the intake of water molecules in plants.

*The most common examples of osmosis is provided by all plants and animals.

Exosmosis :-

*Exosmosis is the movement of water out of the cell.
