Question

Explain the types of osmosis with suitable examples

Answer 1

Answer:

The different types of osmosis include: Endosmosis- when a substance is placed in a hypotonic solution, the solvent molecules move inside the cell and the cell becomes rigid. Exosmosis-when a substance is placed in a hypertonic solution, the solvent molecules move out of the cell and the cell becomes flaccid

Answer 2

The process of movement of water from higher concentration to lower concentration through plasma membrane is called osmosis.

For ex.

• if an object is kept in hypertonic solution the cell loses water and shrinks if cell is kept in hypotonic solution the cell swells up.
