Cells cannot be alive and function without osmosis. Osmosis helps to maintain an equilibrium between the pressure within the cell and outside the cell.
If the fluid volume within the cell is more than the fluid volume outside the cell, the cell swells up due to the excess fluid and pressurize the cell wall causing it to burst.
If the fluid volume outside the cell is less than the fluid volume inside the cell, the pressure exerted on the cell wall from outside will cause the cell to cave in and collapse.
In plants osmosis helps to absorb water and nutrients and transfer it to other parts of the cell. In animal cells it aids in distribution of nutrients and removal of toxic wastes.
Living organisms cannot live without the process of osmosis.

What will happen if a egg went in to salt water?
If the egg was raw then the inside would shrivel up due to osmosis.
What happen to the organism if cell are damaged?
some may cause diseases
What does not occur during osmosis?
Well, considering osmosis is a very specific process for desalinating water, there are an infinite number of things that are not occuring during this process. For example, the big bang could not be occuring during osmosis because otherwise it would blow the entire universe apart, which clearly does no happen. One other example of something that does not occur during osmosis, is the combustion of water. In fact, it is nearly impossible for this to occur under any circumstances let alone during osmosis.
How does water enter or leave the uni cellular organism by diffusion or osmosis?
In unicellular organisms, water enters the cell through the process of osmosis, which is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. This helps maintain the cell's internal hydration levels. Similarly, water can also leave the cell through osmosis if the external environment has a lower concentration of water than inside the cell.
What will happen to a plant if there is no osmosis?
plants absorb water and nutrients through osmosis. Therefore when there is no osmosis plants cannot survive.
What will happen to the water in the capillary tube during the investigation of osmosis?
It will increase due to osmosis
What organism is used in the osmosis experiment?
A potato is used in the osmosis experiment.
What is the name of the organelle that removes water from the organism in reference to osmosis?
The organelle that removes excess water from the organism in relation to osmosis is the contractile vacuole. It is commonly found in freshwater single-celled organisms to regulate their water balance by expelling excess water that enters the cell through osmosis.
Osmosis in real life?
Osmosis certainly does happen regularly in real life. Osmosis is the transportation of water from one side of a membrane to the other side of a membrane.
Does osmosis occur in dead cells?
if the membrane is intact and there is a change of concentration of solut or solvent, osmosis should happen.
What tissue allows osmosis and diffusion to happen?
Simple squamous epithelial tissue allows osmosis and diffusion to happen due to its thin and permeable nature. It allows for the movement of molecules across the tissue through passive processes like osmosis and diffusion.
What will happen to cell when it mounted in glycerin?
it is isotonic.....so neither ex-osmosis nor end-osmosis will take place
How are osmosis and deffusion related?
They both happen within the cell membrane.
Osmosis in living organism?
osmosis is in living organism .osmosis is a flow of liquid from higher concentration to lower concentration . all living organisms undergoes this process.for eg: due to over heat our body undergoes osmosis process by emitting the sweat outside
