WHERE AND WHEN DOES OSMOSIS TAKES PLACE IN THE PLANT?

Osmosis in plants primarily occurs in the roots, where water is absorbed from the soil through the root hair cells. This process typically takes place when the soil water concentration is higher than that inside the root cells, allowing water to move into the plant. Osmosis also occurs in the leaves and stems, contributing to the movement of water and nutrients throughout the plant. Overall, it is a continuous process that happens whenever there is a difference in water concentration across cell membranes.
