osmosis occurs only in living cells explain with rheo leaves.
Answers
Answer:
DEAR USER,
When rheo leaves are boiled, this will shrink due to high temperature. The solute content within the leaves will falls out during heating due to osmosis. The cells are being destroyed by heating and boiling up further. ... So there will be no more osmosis after sugar syrup is added and also there is no plasmolysis process.

Osmosis is the movement of solvent particles from their region of higher concentration to their region of lower concentration through a SEMI PERMEABLE LIVING MEMBRANE. Like, root cells of plants absorb water through osmosis. ... The cell wall, made of cellulose, attracts water molecules.Osmosis plays a critical role in plant and animal cells. It helps in the distribution of nutrients and in the release of waste products. The living cells of both plant and animals are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane known as the cell membrane.
Example:
Movement of salt-water in animal cell across our cell membrane. Plants take water and mineral from roots with the help of Osmosis. If you are there in a bath tub or in water for long your finger gets pruned. Finger skin absorbs water and gets expanded.
Hope it helps you
