Question

How plants osmoregulate in fresh water

Answer 1

Osmoregulation is the active regulation of osmotic pressure to maintain the balance of water and electrolytes in an organism. Control of osmotic pressure is needed to perform biochemical reactions and preserve homeostasis.

Plants use stomata on the lower side of their leaves to regulate water loss. Plants growing in hydrated soils compensate water loss by transpiration by absorbing more water from the soil.
