In which part of the plant does exosmosis and endosmosis occur?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: Endosmosis is the movement of water from outside to inside of the cell. In hypotonic solution, concentration of the solvent is high outside the cell. Therefore, water/solvent enters the cell causing the contents of the plant cell to press against the cell wall. In hypertonic solution, exosmosis will take place, i.e. the solvent/water will move from inside to outside of the cell.
