The cell is known as an osmotic system because it regulates the osmolarity inside and outside the cell.
Explanation:
- The cell has a cell membrane which is the semi permeable membrane. It allows only certain types of sentences to enter the cell and prevent the entry of the rest of the substance.
- The cell allows water to move on either side of it.
- Water diffuses from the region of lower osmolarity to the region of higher osmolarity.
- Also there is no movement of the solutes. Hence there is good regulation of solvent quantity.
- For these reason the cell membrane is known as the semi permeable membrane.
