The solution on the "receiving side" of the membrane, ie the side to which you are trying to prevent osmotic flow.

The pressure needed to stop osmosis is called?
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.
When the osmotic pressure is the same on both side's of a semipermeable membrane each solution is said to be?
Isotonic solution.
What is osmotic?
The root word in osmotic is osmosis. Osmosis is the act of water or fluid passing through a thin membrane. Osmotic is when fluid, like water absorbs through a membrane into a liquid solution.
A solutions osmotic pressure differs from its hydrostatic pressure in that osmotic pressure is the force which pulls water across a membrane resulting from?
osmotic pressure is not the pressure which pulls the water , it is the other way round. It is the pressure with which the water molecule travel across the semi-permeable membrane. Hydrostatic pressure as the name suggests is the pressure due to the "standing column of water and not due to the movement
Does placing plant cells in a hypotonic solution causes the osmotic pressure to increase?
When a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the osmotic pressure tends to increase as the water in the cells moves to a place elevated in solute concentration. The osmotic pressure is the chief cause of support in numerous plants.

Why tonicity is important?
because it refers to the effect of the solutions osmotic pressure has on water movement across the cell membrane of cells with in the solution. because it refers to the effect of the solutions osmotic pressure has on water movement across the cell membrane of cells with in the solution.
What is the name of Pressure that must be exerted onto a solution in order to prevent water from diffusing into that solution through a semipermeable membrane?
osmotic pressure
What's the difference between isotonicity and isoosmosis?
Tonicity is measure of the effective of osmotic pressure. Osmosis is the minimum pressure which needs to be applied to a solution.
Why does the level of a more concentrated solution rise when two solutions of different concentrations are separated by a semipermeable membrane and when does it stop rising?
The more concentrated solution is hypertonic and osmotic pressure (a hydrostatic force whose sole purpose in life is to make concentrations equal) tends to move solvent into the more concentrated solution. It will stop rising when either a) the solution concentrations are the same on both sides of the membrane, or b) when the osmotic pressure becomes equal to the ambient air pressure.
What is the term for the pressure that develpes when two solutions of varying conceration are separated by a membrane?
Osmotic pressure... you must be in my nutrition class :-)
What is the definition of osmotic potential?
What is osmotic potential?Osmotic potential is defined as the ability of a solution to suck water in if it was separated from another solution by a semi-permeable (meaning water gets through, but not the solution) membrane. This means that if you have pure water next to salt water, separated by such a membrane, the pure water would run over to the saltwater, while the water in the saltwater would stay where it is. Water, then, always moves towards a higher concentration, from high pressure to low pressure. This is also how trees get water from the roots up to the canopy, as they don't have beating heart like we do. The plants use their osmotic potential to transport water through the cells from the bottom (roots) where the osmotic pressure is high, to the top (canopy) where the osmotic pressure is low. As the water is transported up, the osmotic pressure in the roots sinks, allowing more water to run in from the soil.

What happens to an egg after soaking it in vinegar then soaking it in sugar solution?
It becomes heavier. The movement of solvent through a membrane produces a pressure called the osmotic pressure. This happens when the pressure in which the solvent is flowing is raised to the equivalent of the pressure moving through the membrane from the hypotonic side.
Does pure water exert osmotic pressure?
Pure water exerts osmotic pressure as the tendency of a pure solvent will cause osmotic pressure. This is due to the semi-permeability of the membrane which inhibits the movement of water.
