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.
Why is osmosis important to cell function?
Osmosis is important to cell functions because it keeps the cell alive
How does the plant bring water to its cells?
by endo-osmosis
What is the only substance that undergo osmosis?
It is water. Water can move from a region of high solute concentration to a region of low solute concentrations. Osmosis is a passive process and no energy is required.There are many things that undergo osmosis. For example- resins, cells etc.
How does osmosis happen in plant cells?
In a wilted plant- the wilted plant becomes firm again.
When can tell that plant cells are undergoing osmosis without using a scale?
You can tell that plant cells are undergoing osmosis if they swell or shrink. When plant cells are placed in a hypertonic solution, they lose water and shrink. Conversely, when they are placed in a hypotonic solution, they gain water and swell. These changes in cell size indicate that osmosis is occurring.
OBSERVING OSMOSIS IN PLANT CELLS?
You can observe osmosis in plant cells by placing a plant cell in a hypertonic or hypotonic solution and observing any changes in cell size and shape due to the movement of water. Hypertonic solution will cause cell to shrink (plasmolysis) and hypotonic solution will cause cell to swell. You can use a microscope to observe these changes in plant cells during osmosis.
Why do plant cells undergo both photosynthesis and respiration?
because plant cells are organism that can live through life
Cells in a plant root drink water through the cell membrane. what process is going on?
Osmosis (endo-osmosis to take water inside plant cell)
Are chloroplast in animal cells?
no. Chloroplasts are only in plant cells. chloroplasts are what makes the plant green.
How osmosis keep plant stem rigid?
Osmosis moves water into the central vacuole which then presses against the cell wall to create turgor pressure, causing the plant stems to become rigid.
What does osmosis do to plant and animal cells in pure water?
Plant cells have a strong rigid cell wall on the outside of the cell membrane. This stops the cell bursting when it absorbs water by osmosis. The increase in pressure makes the cell rigid. This is useful as plants do not have a skeleton. Instead the leaves and shoots can be supported by the pressure of water in their cells. If plant cells lose too much water by osmosis they become less rigid and eventually the cell membrane shrinks away from the cell wall.
