Question

what is endosmosis and exosmosis ​

Answer 1

The main difference between endosmosis and exosmosis is that endosmosis is the movement of water into the cell whereas exosmosis is the movement of water out of the cell. Endosmosis occurs when cells are placed in hypotonic solutions. Cells may swell as a result of endosmosis. Exosmosis occurs when cells are placed in hypertonic solutions. Cells shrink as a result of exosmosis. Isotonic solutions contain similar water potential to the cytoplasm and hence, neither endosmosis nor exosmosis occurs in these solutions.

Answer 2

Answer:

Êndosmosis:- The inward flow of a fluid through a permeable membrane toward a fluid of greater concentration.

Èxosmosis:- . The passage of a fluid through a semipermeable membrane toward a solution of lower concentration, especially the passage of water through a cell membrane into the surrounding medium. Origin of exosmosis
