What is importance of osmosis in daily life

Answer 1

2. Water Soak You can soak a large number of things in water to literally watch osmosis take place before your eyes. Dehydrated fruits and vegetables are great examples. The water isn’t simply flowing into empty spaces inside the fruit. It is literally passing through the cell walls and re-hydrating the fruit or vegetable. Something such as a raisin will have a very, very high concentration of sugars and water (do not confuse concentration with quantity; the raisin has little water, but it is highly concentrated). Thus, the water flows from a point of low concentration (the cup or bowl of water) to one of high concentration (the raisin). In this way equilibrium is achieved. 3. Slug Murder I would never recommend killing an innocent creature, but the example of salting a slug is too bizarre to resist. Once you understand what happens when you salt a slug, you’ll realize that salt is the slug’s kryptonite (and it’s a terrible way to die).
