Another phenomenon connected with solutions, which has received much attention, is that of osmotic pressure. |
Diarrhea may be the result of unabsorbed lithium in the large intestine pulling water into the lumen by osmotic pressure. |
If a U-shaped glass tube were divided in two by a semipermeable membrane and filled with two solutions the osmotic pressure could be shown. |
Individual cell osmotic pressure is measured using a picolitre osmometer. |
The glucose osmotic pressure in solution with water is proportional to the glucose concentration in the outer solution. |
It is a remarkable fact that plasmolytic research affords no evidence of any decrease in osmotic pressure. |
