What is the purpose of osmosis?

There is no overall purpose of osmosis it is used/occurs in many different processes in many living things. Osmosis is genrally reffered to as the net movement of water across a membrane. This genrally happens due to a water potential imbalance but can also occur due to active transport.---In plants, osmosis keeps the plant cells turgid, this means that the cells have swelled up from the additional water and become hard. As plant cells have a strong cell wall around the cell they do not burst from containing too much water. Plant cells are normally turgid, especially in the day, to keep their leaves upright to photosynthesize and catch as much sunlight as possible. Water also enters into the plant through osmosis in the roots.---Transfer of water molecules across a membrane to attain balance between inside and outside. This is just the general nature of things, a law of physics/micro-biology I guess.it is movement of molcuse from high concentration to low concentrationeg- PlantsAnimals---Osmosis is a form of transport. In some cases It is transport of water into cells.
