Why is osmosis important in living organisms

Sagot :

Answer:

WHY IS OSMOSIS IMPORTANT IN LIVING ORGANISMS ??

Osmosis helps in stabilizing the internal environment of organisms by balancing the levels of the water and intracellular fuilds. Also the nutrients and minerals enter the cells by osmosis which is necessary for the survival of cells.

WHAT IS OSMOSIS ??

Osmosis is a passive process and happens without any expenditure of energy. It involves the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration until the concentrations become equal on either side of the membrane.

Any solvent can undergo the process of osmosis including gases and supercritical liquids.

OSMOTIC SOLUTIONS

There are three different types of solutions:

•Isotonic Solution

•Hypertonic Solution

•Hypotonic Solution

An isotonic solution is one that has the same concentration of solutes both inside and outside the cell.

A hypertonic solution is one that has a higher solute concentration outside the cell than inside.

A hypotonic solution is one that has a higher solute concentration inside the cell than outside.
