Question

what is osmosis and it's types?​

Answer 1

Answer

Osmosis is a process in which two solution of different concentration separated by semi permeable membrane diffusion of water take place from solution of lower concentration to solution of higher concentration.

• Osmosis always take place only in liquid.
• As per process movement of water molecule take place from lower concentration to solution of higher concentration.
• The pressure developed as a result of process called osmotic pressure.
• The process of opening and closing is affected by osmosis.

Types

There are two kinds of osmosis -

• Endosmosis
• Exosmosis

Endosmosis -

In endosmosis water landers cell from outer medium to plasma membrane.

Exosmosis -

In exosmosis water move from cell into outer medium through plasma membrane.

More Information

Osmotic Pressure - The maximum pressure which is developed in solution separated from its pure solvent is called osmotic pressure.

Osmotic relation - In osmotic phase can represent by

DPD = OP - TP

In modern glossary it is represented by

$\bold{ \large\bf \: \psi _w \: = \psi_w \: + \psi_p}$
