Define the term osmotic pressure
Define the term osmotic pressure?
Expert
Osmotic pressure is the pressure formed in an aqueous solution by an area of lower solute concentration on an area of higher solute concentration forcing the passage of water from that to this much concentrated area. The intensity of osmotic pressure (that is, in units of pressure) is equivalent to the pressure that is required to apply in the solution to prevent its dilution by the entering of water through osmosis.
This is possible to apply in the solution other pressure in the contrary manner to the osmotic pressure, similar to the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid or the atmospheric pressure. In plant cells, for illustration, the rigid cell wall forms opposite pressure against the tendency of water to enter whenever the cell is put beneath a hypotonic environment.
Microscopically, the pressure converse to the osmotic pressure does not prohibit water to pass via a semi-permeable membrane however it makes a compensatory flux of water in the opposite manner.
