Is water moving into the root cells of a plant an example of osmosis?

1. It enters through the cell wall.
2. It enters through the cell membrane.
(Note that it enters through the cell wall's pores; and the cell membrane has to be semi-permeable)
3. Since water in the plant cell is stored in the vacuoles, the water enters the vacuole. There, the cell has gained more water.
(When the cell releases water, it is the same sequence of steps except BACKWARDS)

What are 2 examples of osmosis?
Osmosis in plant cells. (water moves into plant cells by osmosis). Osmosis in animal cells. (water also diffuses in and out of animal cells by osmosis). Hope this answers your question.
What is a real life example of osmosis?
for animal cells one would be when ur skin gets wrinkly after being in water for long periods of time and for plant cells one would be when a plant gets wilted.
Why osmosis is important to plant cells?
Plant absorbs water from the earth through the process of osmosis. The outermost cells of plants are able to absorb water through their semi-permeable cell membrane. Then this water moves up the Plant through Vascular tissues by diffusion.
What structures in plant cells capture light energy to produce food?
mitochondria
What feature explains why plant cells don't explode as a result of osmosis?
Plant cells don't explode from osmosis because water doesn't just enter, but also leaves the cell by diffusion, which then makes the water concentration equal on both sides of the cell membrane.

Can plant cells undergo osmosis?
no
Why is osmosis important to cell function?
Osmosis is important to cell functions because it keeps the cell alive
How does the plant bring water to its cells?
by endo-osmosis
How does osmosis happen in plant cells?
In a wilted plant- the wilted plant becomes firm again.
When can tell that plant cells are undergoing osmosis without using a scale?
when the plant is heavy(:

Cells in a plant root drink water through the cell membrane through what process?
I think it is osmosis.
Cells in a plant root drink water through the cell membrane. what process is going on?
Osmosis (endo-osmosis to take water inside plant cell)
How does fresh water affect plant cells?
because Fresh water enters easly in the plant cells by endo osmosis. Thus, it causes better growth to the plant.
How is osmosis used in photosynthesis?
Osmosis 'works' in photosynthesise to transport liquids (mostly water) up the plant, generally from underground, to the areas of the plant where the photosynthesis occurs, and then in moving the sap away.
What are two ways of moving things in and out of a cell that do not need energy?
transpiration and diffusion through cell walls.Tranpiration is only for plant cells and animals cells do not have a cell wall. For animal cells there is diffusion and omosis through cell membranes.diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion
