Where does osmosis take place

In Gastrointestinal system:

When we eat food or drink water, it travels from our mouth, down our oesophagus and into our stomach. In the stomach, the food is broken into tiny pieces that are mixed with stomach liquids. This mush of food and stomach liquids is called chyme. The chyme travels into the small intestine. This is where osmosis takes place.

In our Kidneys:

Our kidneys keep blood and tissue fluid (internal environment) 'clean' by removing urea, excess water and other wastes and excreting them. This controls the amounts of dissolved substances in blood and tissue fluid, a process called osmoregulation. If tissue fluid becomes too concentrated, cells will lose water by osmosis and become dehydrated and if it becomes too dilute, cells will take in excess water by osmosis.

americans began to notice growing differences between the northern and southern sections of the country. there were more people living in cities in the north, which made it more urban. more people lived on farms in the south, which made it more rural. while many people were farmers in the northern states, there were now other ways to make a living, such as working in mechanical cotton gins factories manufacturing cloth, tools and other goods. people in the north supported high tariffs on goods imported from europe because the extra cost encouraged people to “buy american” instead. in the southern states, planters did not like tariffs because they sold most of their production to europe and bought their tools from there as well. southerners believed the protective tariff was something that only northern factory owners keep their profits high. so the southern politicians came up with an idea. they would opt out. they would simply ignore the protective tariff. it was ‘null and void’ in south carolina. the state would not collect the taxes on goods imported into south carolina, no matter what the president said they had to do. this decision led to the nullification crisis.
