Answer:

  • Wilting is the loss of rigidity of non-woody parts of plants. This occurs when the turgor pressure in non-lignified plant cells falls towards zero, as a result of diminished water in the cells. Wilting also serves to reduce water loss, as it makes the leaves expose less surface area.

  • Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a selectively permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.

  • Answer:#WILTING..ON THE ABSORPTION OF WATER A PLANT CELL BECOMES SMALLER SWOLLEN OR TURGID. THE PROTOPLASM SELF PRESS THE CELL WALL OUTSIDE WITH A FORCE IS CALLED TURGOR PRESSURE IT KEEPS THE LEAVES FLOWER FRUIT AND OF PLANT EXPANDED DECREASE IN THE TURGOR PRESSURE OF A CELL LEDS TO WILTING
  1. .. OSMOSIS...IT IS A SPECIAL FORM OF DIFFUSION WHICH INVOLVES ONLY THE MOVEMENT OF WATER MOLECULES FROM ADDITION OF A HIGHER CONCENTRATION TO THE REASON OF LOWER CONCENTRATION TO THE SEMIPERMEABLE MEMBRANE OF ROOT HAIR WITH A SEMIPERMEABLE MEMBRANE ACT AS THE OSMOTIC SYSTEM THROUGH WHICH THE MOVEMENT OF WATER MOLECULE TAKE PLACE. .... WHEN TWO SOLUTION ARE SEPARATED BY THE SEMIPERMEABLE MEMBRANE WATER PASSES TO THE MEMBRANE IN BOTH THE DIRECTIONS..THE NET FLOW OF WATER IN THE FORM OF DILUTE SOLUTION TO THE CONCRETE SOLUTION.THIS FLOW CONTINUE UNTIL THE CONCENTRATIONS ARE EQUAL THIS PROCESS IS CALLED AS OSMOSIS..
