The osmotic pressure. This is the pressure which would have to be applied to a solution to stop water entering if it was separated from pure water by a semipermeable membrane.

What is crystalloid osmotic pressure?
Colloids: is a term used to collectively refer to the large molecular weight (nominally MW > 30,000) particles present in a solution. In normal plasma, the plasma proteins are the major colloids present. As the colloids are solutes they contribute to the total osmotic pressure of the solution. This component due to the colloids is typically quite a small percent of the total osmotic pressure. It is referred to as COLLOID OSMOTIC PRESSURE (or sometimes as the ONCOTIC PRESSURE).
Do animal cell and plant cell get bigger in distilled water?
If animal cells are placed in distilled water they will absorb water by the process called osmosis. This will make the cell swell and, if it doen not stop, eventually burst. Plant cells placed in distilled water will also absorb water by osmosis but the cell wall prevents them from swelling. Water enters the cells by osmosis because the concentration of the solution inside the cells is higher than that of the 'solution' outside. Water always moves by osmosis from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution (when they are separated by a membrane which lets water through but not dissolved substances). For a good introduction to osmosis see: http://www.chaosscience.org.uk/pub/public_html//article.php?story=20050301222247333
Does osmosis ever stop?
Effectively yes it does, when equilibrium is achieved. If the barrier is one way then it also stops when there are no more particles able to pass.
What are sequences of nitrogenous bases in RNA that do not make proteins called?
They code for "start" and "stop" and are called stop and stop codons.
Why should blood plasma have the same concentration as the blood cells?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. If there is a high solute concentration outside the cell, water will leave body cells by osmosis - leading to plasmolysis (cell shrinking). If there is a high water concentration it will enter the cell by osmosis and the cell will burst.
The pressure needed to stop osmosis is?
Hypertension
When does the level of solution stop rising?
when the amount of pressure needed to stop osmosis is reached.
When does osmosis stop?
osmosis stops when there is equal amount of concentration of water molecules on either sides of the semi permeable membrane. but due to higher osmotic pressure, turgor pressure and wall pressure, osmosis stops just before the concentrations become equal.
When does diffusion thus osmosis stop?
at equilibruim
when does the net movement of osmosis and diffusion stop?
They stop when there is equal amounts of solutes in the solvent.
How do you know if your break are bad?

In Osmosis Jones what did Drix do?
drix cured all the cold symptoms and help stop the scarlett fever
When you stop drinking alcohol does it upset your stomach?
Often. It can also cause extremes of blood pressure, and seizures. Alcohol detox should be medically supervised if possible. If not, don't hesitate to call 9-1-1 if needed. Get a blood pressure cuff, and monitor the person's blood pressure.
Where can I find more information on what's needed to get a Masters Degree in nursing?
You can get a nursing masters degree at your local nursing masters degree institute for checking your blood pressure with a cuff that will eventually stop any blood pressure in your arm when kept there.
Why is osmosis important to cell function?
Osmosis is important to cell functions because it keeps the cell alive
Why an increase in vapour pressure stop boiling?
An increase in pressure can stop boiling until at an increased temperature the vapor pressure equals the external pressure. That is the definition of boiling, when the vapor pressure equals the external pressure than the liquid will boil.
