Detailed explanation-1: -A common osmosis example seen in real life is the preservation of food. Food is preserved in salt or sugar solution (hypertonic) to allow water to be pulled out of the cells of the foods (hypotonic).

Detailed explanation-2: -Osmosis in animal cells For example, when animal cells are exposed to a hypertonic surrounding (or lower water concentration) the water will leave the cells causing the cells to shrink.

Detailed explanation-3: –When you keep a raisin in water and it puffs up, this is an illustration of Osmosis in everyday life.-Movement of salt water over the cell membrane of an animal cell.-Osmosis allows plants to extract water and minerals from their roots.
