Explain the importance of water potential and osmosis on animal cells and tissues

osmosis is important process to plants .osmosis gain water through their roots. by osmosis water moves into plant cells to make them turgid or stiff so that they are able to hold the plant upright.n all living organisms, nutrients and minerals make their way to the cells because of osmosis.

homeostasis is the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. and this is how it applies to the integumentary system. back to top. skin functions in homeostasis include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, and absorption of materials. when body temperature falls, the sweat glands constrict and sweat production decreases.
