Question

Osmosis occurs in
(A) Living cells with cell wall
(B) Living cells without cell wall
(C) Cells without living protoplast
(D) A and B​

Answer 1

Osmosis across living cells

Cells contain dilute solutions of ions , sugars and amino acids so have a high water potential. The cell membrane is partially permeable. Water will move into and out of cells by osmosis.

Answer 2

It occurs in both A and B.

• It is the dynamic development of water particles from a high to a low focused area over a specific porous membrane

• At the point when placed in a hypotonic arrangement, a cell without a cell wall grows and explodes, though cells with wall swell, yet a strong wall forestalls excess water to enter the cell until it is firm.

• A specific cell without a cell wall can lose water to the atmosphere, shrink, and most likely die. A cell with a cell membrane will also lose water in a hypertonic solution.
