Demonstration of Plasmolysis and Determination of Isotonic Conc. of the Cell Sap 4. Determination of Osmotic Pressure of Integrated Plant Tissues and Others. Experiment # 1 Demonstration of the [...]
The following twelve points will highlight the twelve major importance of osmosis in the plant life. Osmosis and its related phenomena play significant role in the water relationship of plants. Some of the important roles played by osmosis in the life of any plant are summarized as below: 1. It is a mean by which plant cells maintain their water [...]
Differences between Imbibition and Osmosis! Imbibition: 1. It refers to absorption of solvent or water by a solid substance. 2. Semi-permeable membrane has no role to play in imbibition. 3. As a result of imbibition, a solution is not formed. 4. Heat is generated during imbibition. 5. A very high imbibition pressure up to 1000 atm. may develop during imbibition. [...]
