The pressure required to prevent the passage of water through a semi- permeable membrane from a region of low concentration of solutes to one of higher concentration, by osmosis.<\/p>\n
May be defined as the hydrostatic pressure which must be applied to a solution on one side of a semipermeable membrane (solution B in the example for osmosis) in order to offset the flow of solvent (water) from the other side (solution A in the example for osmosis). It is a measure of the tendency or “strength” of water to flow from a region of low salt concentration (and conversely high water concentration) to regions of high salt concentration (and conversely low water concentration).<\/p>\n
The pressure that develops or is present when two solutions of different concentrations are separated by a membrane that is permeable only to the solvent, osmosis.<\/p>\n
The pressure required to stop the flow of a solvent through a membrane.<\/p>\n
The pressure that must be applied to prevent the passage of a solvent. Only those solutes that cannot pass through a membrane can contribute to osmotic pressure.<\/p>\n
Pressure between two solutions of different concentrations separated by a semipermeable membrane.<\/p>\n
Part of the blood pressure that is due to plasma proteins; also known as blood colloid osmotic pressure.<\/p>\n
The force with which a solvent, usually water, passes through a semipermeable membrane separating solutions of different concentrations. It is measured by determining the hydrostatic (mechanical) pressure that must be opposed to the osmotic force to bring the passage to a standstill.<\/p>\n
The phenomenon of pressure arising when two solutions with varying concentrations are divided by a semipermeable membrane, like a cellular wall. This leads to the movement of the lower concentration solute across the membrane into the region with higher concentration (known as osmosis).<\/p>\n
The pressure resulting from a solvent moving through a semipermeable membrane, flowing from a diluted solution into a more concentrated one.<\/p>\n
