Question | Answer |
---|---|
Movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane in response to the difference in the electrochemical potential in water | Osmosis |
Movement of water is driven by a difference in solute concentrations on the two sides of the membrane | Osmosis |
Water flows from the solution with lower solute concentration into the solution with higher solute concentration | Osmosis |
Pressure generated when water diffuses across the cell membrane | Osmotic pressure |
Pressure required in stopping osmosis completely | Osmotic pressure |
Formula for Osmotic Pressure | van Hoff's Law |
Osmolarity of a solution relative to plasma | Tonicity |
Osmolarity of plasma | 0.3 osm/L or 300 mosm/L |
