Osmosis is the process whereby water or H2o is transmitted throughout the cell membrane and thus hydrated. The cell absorbs fluids via the process termed osmosis.
OSMOSIS More specifically: Endosmosis is the movement of water into a cell Exosmosis is the movement of water out of a cell
What causes a cell to shrink because of osmosis?
Solution causes a cell to swell by osmosis
Cell membrane.
If the concentration of solute is greater inside than outside the cell then the cell then water will rush into the cell to bind to the solute and the cell will swell. A hypotonic condition.

Boiling the potato destroys the cell membrane which is a partially permeable membrane. Thus osmosis is unable to occur as osmosis occurs through a partially membrane and only diffusion would occur.
the nucleus controls both osmosis and diffusion in and out of a cell

The diffusion of water through a cell membrane is called osmosis.
Alcohol moves across the cell membrane by means of osmosis.
osmosis
Osmosis the transfer of water through the cell. So when in osmosis the cell needs more water.
Water moves in and out of the cell through the cell membrane by the process of osmosis when there is a concentration gradient.
diffusion and osmosis limit the size of a cell by how fast is can move
