Answer 2

"(d) Exosmosis

Absorption refers to the processes by which ""nutrients are taken"" into the cells. Example: Absorption of nutrients in the digestive tract.

Imbibition refers to the process by which ""water is absorbed"" by hydrophilic colloids resulting in the swelling of the same. Example: Swelling of raisins when soaked in water.

Endosmosis refers to the movement of ""water into the cell"" resulting in its swelling. This occurs when a ""cell"" is placed in a ""hypotonic solution"" and is called reverse plasmolysis.

Exosmosis refers to the ""movement of water"" from the cell to the surroundings resulting in its shrinkage. This occurs when a ""cell"" is placed in a ""hypertonic solution"" and is called plasmolysis."
