Exosmosis and Endosmosis refer to motion of water into the cell or out of the cell. When water moves into the cell, the movement is known as endosmosis. On the other hand, when water moves out of the cell, the motion is referred to as exosmosis. Some examples of endosmosis and exosmosis are:
1) Exosmosis: Movement of water from root hair cells to cortical hair cells.
2) Exosmosis: rinsing of mouth with salt water to ease the swelling in the gums (which is caused by excess water in our gum cells), resulting in loss of excess water from gum cells.
3) Exosmosis: drying of fruits when left out in the open, leading to loss of moisture to the air.
4) Endosmosis: absorption of capillary water by the roots of plants from the soil.
5) Endosmosis: entrance of water in the xylem vessel from the soil.
6) Endosmosis: gain of water by the dried fruits (say, raisins) when placed in water.
Hope this helps.
