What's the difference between exosmosis and osmosis?

Exosmosis


Definition:

  • (n.) See Exosmose.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The excess of salt causes exosmosis resulting in death of the fishes.
  • (2) pCMPS specifically increases the hydraulic resistance to exosmosis, but does not influence endosmosis.
  • (3) By contrast, nonyltriethylammonium (C9), a blocking agent of K+ channels, increases the hydraulic resistance to endosmosis, but does not affect that to exosmosis.
  • (4) A step change can hence be assumed when modeling exosmosis for determining the lymphocyte membrane permeability.

Osmosis


Definition:

  • (n.) Osmose.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) CDI and reverse osmosis (RO) equipment can form the key elements of water treatment trains that produce ultrapure water, without the need for the chemical regenerants associated with batch ion-exchange processes.
  • (2) At 10(-6)M amphotericin B, the DC membrane resistance fell from approximately 10(8) to approximately 10(2) ohm-cm(2), and the membranes became Cl(-)-, rather than Na(+)-selective; the permeability coefficients for hydrophilic nonelectrolytes increased in inverse relationship to solute size, and the rate of water flow during osmosis increased 30-fold.
  • (3) Read more The first plant using manipulated osmosis began operating in Gibraltar in March 2009.
  • (4) These results cast doubt on the suggestions that gas-induced osmosis is an important factor in dysbarism or in clinical anesthesia.
  • (5) The swelling of the red blood cells was probably due to osmosis caused by Cl- exchanged for the HCO3- which was produced rapidly by carbonic anhydrase present in the red blood cells.
  • (6) The reverse osmosis water is the main contamination source for the bicarbonate dialysate, the application of which within 6 hours seems worth being used on account of the low germ count.
  • (7) They induce volume flows across different pathways, e.g., osmosis predominantly across the cellular route and pressure filtration predominantly across paracellular routes.
  • (8) Hence non-linear osmosis in rabbit gall-bladder is due to a decrease in water permeability with increasing osmolarity.6.
  • (9) A brilliant sequence to this simple idea followed through Poynting, Arrhenius, Noyes and culminated with Hulett, who in 1901 formulated the "solvent tension theory" of osmosis, stating in essence that the thermal motion of the solute molecules by impact with the free solvent surface put the solvent under tension.
  • (10) Then with self-powered force (osmosis) substance is released with constant rate over period of 1-4 weeks (model pending).
  • (11) Experiments on the purification of wash water by means of reverse osmosis membranes MGA-100 were performed.
  • (12) Water flows by osmosis across the membrane into a sealed chamber where it creates pressure.
  • (13) After installation of reverse osmosis units there was a decrease in the aluminium concentrations in plasma.
  • (14) Proposed nonischemic changes, such as hyperoxic injury gas-induced osmosis, or autoimmunity, lack sufficient supporting evidence.
  • (15) Efficiency of energy conversion for electro-osmosis and streaming potential and the degree of coupling of acids across urinary bladder membranes of goat have been computed using non-equilibrium thermodynamic theory.
  • (16) We can't leave change to osmosis since it's self-awareness that accelerates the positive and works faster to eliminate the negative.
  • (17) Osmosis is apparently the mechanism responsible for the coupling of water to solute transport in biological membranes.
  • (18) We insist that to prevent the occurrence and worsening of bone disease during chronic hemopurification, reverse osmosis water should be used to prepare dialysates and substitution fluids.
  • (19) We measured endotoxin and bacterial levels in tap water, in water purified by reverse osmosis, and in dialysate samples over a 4-month period in a new 10-bed renal dialysis unit.
  • (20) The hydraulic resistance was measured on internodal cells of Nitellopsis obtusa using the method of transcellular osmosis.
