Entry of water in to the roots from the soil takes place by this process.
Cell to cell diffusion of water is controlled through this process.
Young cells require turgid condition for their growth which is fulfilled by osmosis.
Turgidity of cells is maintained by the process of osmosis.

Significance of osmosis in unicellular organisms and plants?
Osmosis is important because some unicellular organisms are rather small and do not require intricate systems therefore it allows plants to easily take water from the soil by way of the roots making it simple and effective.
What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.
Osmosis?

What are the significance of osmosis to food preservation methods such as salting and drying?
Salting, sugar-curing, &c. apply osmosis in that both of these compounds are hygroscopic and thus draw water out of the food to be preserved over the semi-permeable surface of the food, from one solution into another, thus making the environment inhospitable for most bacteria and mold. Simple air drying works in the same way, but osmosis is not a factor; evaporation is.
Are earthworms diffusion or osmosis?

Is there antonyms for osmosis?
there is no antonym for osmosis.
Is excretory system osmosis or diffusion?
osmosis
Where does osmosis occur?
osmosis occurs in the roots
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.
Who founded osmosis?
No one founded osmosis. Osmosis is just the movement of water across a semipereamble membrane.
What affects osmosis?
osmosis is affected by the concentration gradient the lower the concentration gradient the faster the speed of osmosis
