When a tea bag is placed in hot water, the water molecules move from an area of higher concentration (in the water) to an area of lower concentration (inside the tea bag). This movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane (the tea bag) is a model of osmosis. As the water molecules move into the tea bag, it causes the tea leaves and other contents to swell in size, demonstrating the process of osmosis in action.
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters the cell through osmosis, and the cell swells.
in pure water a cell will become turgid and water will flow in through osmosis.
An egg without its shell swells when placed in water due to osmosis. The egg's contents have a higher concentration of solutes compared to the surrounding water, leading water to move into the egg through the semi-permeable membrane. This influx of water causes the egg to expand and swell.
Osmosis
osmosis high salt in egg causes water to enter eggs permeable membrane via osmosis to point of bursting egg.

Peas absorb water through a process called osmosis, in which water molecules move from an area of high concentration (outside the pea) to an area of low concentration (inside the pea). As the pea takes in water, it swells and increases in size.
If a cell is placed in salt water, water leaves the cell by osmosis.
If a cell is placed in salt water, water leaves the cell by osmosis.
When your skin is in water for a long time, the outer layer absorbs water and swells up. This causes the skin to wrinkle due to osmosis, where water moves from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
When your fingers are in water for a long time, the outer layer of skin absorbs water and swells, causing the skin to wrinkle. This process is not due to osmosis, but rather a reaction of the skin to prolonged exposure to water.
