endosmosis means what
Answers
The process of a cell swelling dur to Hypnotic solution is called as Endosmosis .
Even though bith undergo the smse Hypnotic solution :

The concentration of solute is less than the solvent . Means that the outer concentration is more than the inside so as water moves from higher concentrations to lower concentrations ; the water or solvent moves inside.
In animal cell due to the absence of cell wall ; it may burst dur to such pressure from inside while in plant cells it won't happen as cell wall is present .

- Hypertonic solution :
Concentration of solute is more than solvent . So water moves outside . This causes shrinkage of cell . In plants this has a special name called plasmolysis
- Isotonic solution :
Concentration is equal so no net movement is seen .
Answer :-
Endosmosis : The movement of water into the cell is called endosmosis.
When the dried grapes are kept in the hypotonic solution (less concentrated/water) then water will move inside the grapes.
The percentage of water absorbed by the raisin can be calculated by calculating the increase in the weight of the raisins.

what is Hypotonic solution?
When a cell (dry raisin) is dropped in water, the cell has a less water concentration then the the medium in which it is kept .
The water molecules will flow into the cell, and it it will swell up or even can brust as in the case of animal cells .
Such a solution is called hypotonic solution. This is Endosmosis.
