Question

How does endosmosis and exosmosis occur in the cell?

Answer 1

• When the water concentration inside the cell is less as compared to the medium in which it is present, then the endosmosis takes place. This makes the water to enter inside the cell.
• When water concentration inside the cell is more than the water concentration in the medium in which it is present, then the water comes out of the cell. This is called exosmosis.
• Since the cell membrane acts as a semipermeable membrane, the processes of endosmosis and exosmosis takes place in the cell.
