Question

differentiate between endosmosis and exosmosis​

Answer 1

Answer:

Endosmosis and Exosmosis are the two types of osmosis. The main difference between endosmosis and Exosmosis is that endosmosis is the movement of water into the cell whereas Exosmosis is the movement of water out of the cell. Endosmosis occurs when cells are placed in hypotonic solutions.

Answer 2

Answer:

Endosmosis

When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the water moves inside a cell and swells. This movement of water inside a cell is known as endosmosis. This happens because the solute concentration of the surrounding solution is less than that inside the cytoplasm.

Exosmosis

When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the water moves out of the cell and the cell becomes flaccid. This movement of water out of the cell is known as exosmosis. This happens because the solute concentration of the surrounding solution is higher than that inside the cytoplasm.
