When we are dehydrated and drink a lot of water, we are reaching equilibrium in our cells by filling them back up with water.You can soak a large number of things in water to literally watch osmosis take place before your eyes. Dehydrated fruits and vegetables are great examples. The water isn’t simply flowing into empty spaces inside the fruit.no slug expects to have pure salt dropped on it. But when such a thing does happen, the high concentration of the salt on the outside of the slug causes the cells to start trying to balance concentrations. In non-scientific terms, the water is “sucked” right out of the slug’s body. The slug will dry up and die if enough salt is applied.If you’ve ever wondered how roots generate “pressure” to withdraw water and nutrients from the soil, it’s through osmosis. This is accomplished by attracting the polar nutrients in the soil toward the root’s cells. It’s a very clever trick because the nutrients bring water with them and therefore solve this necessary problem for plants.Cholera would not be possible without osmosis. The choleric bacteria populate in our intestines and begin to reverse the intestinal cells’ ionic orientation. Pruned FingersIf you’ve ever been a bath or pool too long, then you’ve seen your fingers and toes get pruned.The Water CrisisYou might be aware that we can use reverseosmosis to desalinate salt water (i.e. the oceans). To accomplish this, we have to apply very high pressure to force water through a semipermeable membrane.
