The Differentiate between endosmosis and exosmosis is
| Endosmosis |
Exosmosis |
| The solvent moves into the cell (Endo = inside) |
The solvent moves out of the cell. (Exo = outside) |
| Osmosis towards the inside of a cell. |
Osmosis towards the outside of a cell. |
| Hypotonic solutions induce endosmosis in cells (distilled water is hypotonic because it contains no solute). |
Hypertonic solutions induce exosmosis in cells (Intravenous Fluid is often hypertonic as it has many solutes). |
