Question

What is the role of osmosis in plants?

Answer 1

Some of the role of osmosis are listed below:-

1.It is a mean by which plant cells maintain their water content despite the loss of water to the air that is constantly occurring.

2.It provides turgidity to the softer tissues.

3.It controls the absorption of water by root hairs from the soil.

4.Diffusion pressure deficit is responsible for the movement of water across the cortical cells of the root.

5.cell to cell diffusion of water is also affected by the osmosis.
