Explanation:

Osmosis is the diffusion of fluid through a semi-permeable membrane from a solution with a low solute concentration to a solution with a higher solute concentration until there is an equal solute concentration on both sides of the membrane.
Justification: Statement 1: Stomata are responsible for plant gas exchange which enables the process of photosynthesis. On every plant leaf there are many guard cells that literally “guard” the stomata. During osmosis, the guard cells swell with water and the pressure triggers the stomata to open. When the stomata open they suck in carbon dioxide from the air which is then used in combination with the water from the roots and the sunlight absorbed in chlorophyll to produce plant energy.
Statement 2: Roots reach out into the soil to establish an avenue for the transport of nutrients and water to the rest of the plant. The roots absorb water through osmosis. If the water concentration outside of the plant roots is greater than that of the water concentration in the roots osmosis occurs.
