What pressure results from osmosis?
osmotic
Is there more pressure used in Osmosis or reverse Osmosis?
Water or liquid move naturally from lower concentration to higher concentration. The drive force is called osmotic pressure. No additional pressure need to drive osmosis process. Reverse osmosis, is apply pressure to fight against osmotic pressure. It do need additional pressure to reverse the osmosis process. It is comparing a zero additional pressure with any positive additional pressure thus of cause reverse osmosis require more pressure.
How does electrolytes affect osmosis?
They add more solute particles into the solution and have a greater effect on osmotic pressure.
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.
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.

Osmosis can be halted by.?
applying a pressure equal to the osmotic pressure on the more concentrated solution side.
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.
Reverse osmosis occurs when?
a pressure greater than the osmotic pressure is applied in the opposite direction osmosis is occurring.
What is the role of NaCl in Nutrient broth?
NaCl is generally added to the nutrient media for maintaining the Osmotic pressure. Maintaining osmotic pressure is important, because, increase or decrease in the osmotic pressure leads to cell burst or death due to the effect of osmosis. So, maintaining the osmotic pressure is done by adding correct amount of NaCl.
What is the pressure exerted by water during osmosis called?
TonicI think. :PThe pressure exerted by water moving during osmosis is called the osmotic pressure. It is dependent on molar concentration and absolute temperature.
How does electrolytes affect osmosis?
They add more solute particles into the solution and have a greater effect on osmotic pressure.
The pressure that builds in a plant cell as a result of osmosis is called?
The pressure that builds in a plant cell as a result of osmosis is called turgor pressure.
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.
Can we use osmosis for desalinating water?
The process for desalinization is reverse osmosis. The salty fluid is put on the pressurized side of the semi-permeable membrane and the salt free water oozes to the low pressure side. The pressure overcomes the "osmotic pressure" noted in regular osmosis.

TonicI think. :PThe pressure exerted by water moving during osmosis is called the osmotic pressure. It is dependent on molar concentration and absolute temperature.
