Endosmosis: When there is passage of a fluid in this case water, from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration through a semipermeable surface (the membrane of a cell), the process is known as endosmosis.
Exosmosis: Exosmosis is the passage of water through a cell membrane (semipermeable) toward a surrounding medium of lower concentration.
Therefore a cell will display endosmosis when it shrinks by losing water when placed in a water or display exosmosis when it swells up or enlargens when placed in a water.
