Biology 1 from 3

Water from soil solution is absorbed into the root of plants by osmosis.
Water moves from one living cell to another. i.e. From root to stem to leaves by osmosis.
Osmosis helps plant cells retain water and keep their shape and turgidity.
Osmosis controls the opening and closing of the stomata.
In animals, blood and other body fluids must be maintained at the same osmotic pressure as the body cells.
