yes, water flows from low osmolarity to high osmolarity when two solutiona are separated by a semi-permeable membrane till the solutions on either side of the membrane attains equal osmolarity.

How does the water in the cells behave when in high or low concentrations of water?
In high solute concentrations water will flow out of the cell. In low solute concentrations water will flow into the cell.
Why is water low viscosity?
water has a low viscosity. substitute viscosity for its meaning, resistanse to flow. Water has a low resistance to flow
The resistance of a liquid to flowing?
Viscosity is how much a liquid resists flow. Water has a low viscosity while molasses has a high viscosity.
Does electricity flow from high pressure to low pressure?
No, air does - electricity does not.
In the subtropics the saltiest water is generally at the surface, why?
What causes low salinity in the oceans at high latitudes?In subtropical latitudes, high surface evaporation creates high salinity near the sea surface. In subpolar latitudes, high precipitation creates low salinity near the sea surface. As these waters flow into the ocean interior, they create layers of high and low salinity.
How does the water in the cells behave when in high or low concentrations of water?
In high solute concentrations water will flow out of the cell. In low solute concentrations water will flow into the cell.
What is high plasma osmolality?
This is when you have a high concentration of solute (ie. Na) in your blood in contrast to a low concentration of water in the blood.
What has Low density and high viscosity?
honey has high viscosity lah, and water has low viscosity. anything that resists flow has high viscosity...lah. honey has high viscosity lah, and water has low viscosity. anything that resists flow has high viscosity...lah.
How is the high osmolarity of the renal medulla is maintained?
Counter-current multiplication which occurs on the Vasa Recta helps maintain high osmolarity in the renal medulla Sodium Chloride (NaCl, or salt) is pumped out of the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. The result is that the renal medulla has a high salt concentration, and therefore a low water concentration.
How can you get low viscoSity and high resistance?
You get low viscosity with thin liquids like water that flow easily. Low viscosity means the liquid has low resistance. You get high resistance when you have liquids that flow slowly like honey and syrup, which means high viscosity.
Why is the cycle of high and low water flows important to a river?
rivers depend on water flow and if they get low waterflow the river wont have enough water
How do liquids with high viscosity differ from liquids with a low viscosity?
Viscosity is a property of liquids, showing that liquid's resistance to flow. A liquid with a high viscosity would mean it flowed slowly. A liquid with a low viscosity would mean it flows rather quickly.
What membrane does diffusion is the flow of water from high concentration to low concentration?
Osmosis is the tendency of water to flow from high concentration to low concentration. Osmosis, gravity, pressure, and matrix effects (cohesion, surface tension, etc.) all factor into the final water potential.
What is osmolarity?
Osmolarity is a measure of the osmoles of solute per liter of solution.
What is a good high-lift low-flow water pump?
A good type of pump to use in a high lift low flow situation is a positive displacement pump. These work by moving a set volume of water at a time and block against backflow. The other main type of pump is the rotodynamic pump which pumps by speeding the flow of the water. This type is not suitable for high lift situations.
