Imbibition deals with the displacement of fluids primarily by colloidal structures. The degree of displacement is dependent on the matrix structure of the colloid and the mutual affinity with the liquid.
Germination of plant seeds is a good example of imbibition, but doesn't deal with living cells directly.
In living human cells, imbibition by definition has limited occurrence with the best example being a skin graft. The grafted skin takes in oxygen and nutrients by way of imbibition until normal vascular pathways can be established.
Other transport methods involving membrane permeability are more pertinent to cellular structures within the human body.
Hope this helps.

How do living cells deal with osmosis?
Living cells regulate osmosis by using selectively permeable cell membranes. They control the movement of water and solutes through osmosis by maintaining a balance of solute concentrations inside and outside the cell. Cells can actively pump out excess water or take in water when needed to maintain their internal environment.

What determines whether you are healthy or ill?
Find out for yourself! Read below!All living things are made of cells. A cell is a tiny unit of living material that is the basic building block of life. Certain cells can cause a great deal of trouble in the human body, while other cells have the job of defending and protecting the body. Whether you're healthy or ill, depends on which cells, the helpful or harmful, are in control. Dont forget to rate! THX XD
