Osmosis can affect a cell by causing it to either swell or shrink depending on the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell. When water moves into or out of the cell through osmosis, it can change the cell's volume and shape, potentially impacting its function and stability. An imbalance in osmotic pressure can lead to cell damage or even cell death.

What organelle in the plant cell is known as osmosis?
The vacuole is the organelle in a plant cell that is involved in osmosis. It helps maintain turgor pressure in the cell by regulating the movement of water molecules in and out of the cell through osmosis.
What factors determines the osmosis of a cell?
The factors that determine the osmosis of a cell include the concentration gradient of solutes inside and outside the cell, the permeability of the cell membrane to water, and the pressure exerted on the cell membrane. Osmosis occurs when water moves across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
The process of water moving out of a cell is called?
The process of water moving out of a cell is called "exocytosis," which involves the fusion of vesicles containing water with the cell membrane, releasing the water outside the cell.
When water moves across a cell membrane it is called?
Osmosis.
In which organelle does osmosis occur?
Osmosis occurs in the cell membrane of a cell. It is the movement of water across the cell membrane, which controls the balance of water inside and outside of the cell.
