It occurs when plants need to collect water from the ground. In many cases the leaves are adapted to make the water flow towards the roots. The plant needs water to carry out feel respiration and create energy as it uses the oxygen in water for respiration. The roots are partially permeable to allow water in and this happens through osmosis. Osmosis occurs because there are more water particles in one area than another so as the particles move randomly many go to the area without water particles, randomly. A good definition of osmosis is: "The net movement of water from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution, across a partially permeable membrane."

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.
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(:
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.
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.
If plant cells are immersed in distilled water the resulting movement of water into the cells is called?
The process is called osmosis.
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.
