Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Osmosis is defined as movement of the solvent particles from a lower concentrated region to a region of higher concentration through a semi permeable membrane

✠ Osmosis is of two types :-

• Endosmosis – When a substance is placed in a hypotonic solution, the solvent molecules move inside the cell and the cell becomes turgid or undergoes deplasmolysis.
• Exosmosis – When a substance is placed in a hypertonic solution, the solvent molecules move outside the cell and the cell becomes flaccid or undergoes plasmolysis.

SIGNIFICANCE OF OSMOSIS :-

• Osmosis is responsible for the absorption of water from the soil in plants.
• Osmosis influences the transport of nutrients and the release of metabolic waste products.
• It is responsible for the absorption of water from the soil and conducting it to the upper parts of the plant through the xylem.
• It stabilizes the internal environment of a living organism by maintaining the balance between water and intercellular fluid levels.
• It maintains the turgidity of cells.
• It is a process by which plants maintain their water content despite the constant water loss due to transpiration.
• This process controls the cell to cell diffusion of water.
