5. FACTORS AFFECTING RATE OF OSMOSIS
• Pressure
• Temperature
• Surface area
• Water potential
• Concentration gradient
6. OSMOTIC PRESSURE
• It is minimum pressure
• Prevent the inward flow
• Unit=osmol
• Osmotic pressure is measured by
osmometer
• Equation=
7. SIGNIFICANCE OF OSMOSIS
• Cell to cell diffusion
• Turgidity
• Reabsorption of water by the kidney
• Absorption of water by digestive tract
8. OSMOTIC GRADIENT
• The osmotic gradient is the difference
in concentration between two solution
either side of semipermeable membrane
and it is use to tell the difference in %
of the concentration of a specific
particle dissolve in solution
