Osmosis primarily occurs in the root cells of a plant, where water is absorbed from the soil through the semi-permeable cell membranes. This process allows water to move from an area of lower solute concentration in the soil to an area of higher solute concentration inside the root cells. Osmosis continues as water travels through the plant's vascular system (xylem) to reach leaves and other tissues, supporting various physiological functions.

Where does the osmosis take place?

Osmosis takes place across a semi-permeable membrane, where water moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration to equalize the concentration of solute on both sides of the membrane. This process is essential for maintaining the balance of water and solutes in cells and organisms.

What is turgidity in osmosis?

"Turgidity" means stiffness. When plant cells absorb water, they press against their cell walls,. becoming very stiff, much like a balloon that is inflated to almost popping (if the cell wall weren't there, the cells WOULD pop). This stiffness takes the place of a plant's skeleton.


Cells in a plant root drink water through the cell membrane through what process?

Cells in a plant root absorb water through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, across a semi-permeable membrane. This allows the plant to take up water from the soil and transport it throughout the root system for various functions.
