(iii)Which osmosis is beneficial?
Answers
Explanation:
Osmosis is regulated by the inflow and outflow of water molecules from the cell or body through a semipermeable membrane. Endosmosis is the inflow of water or solvent whereas, exosmosis is the outflow of water or solvent from the cell through a semipermeable membrane.
Answer:
I. the tendency of a fluid, usually water, to pass through a semipermeable membrane into a solution where the solvent concentration is higher, thus equalizing the concentrations of materials on either side of the membrane. the diffusion of fluids through membranes or porous partitions.
II.In biology, there are three different types of solutions that cells can be in: isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic. Different types of solutions have different impacts on cells due to osmosis.
III.Everything on earth is all about balance. In osmosis, water follows from region of high concentration to region of low concentration through a semi permeable membrane. This is important because it helps to regulate salt and mineral content in the blood. It also helps fishes to live in saline water.
