What's the difference between osmosis and permeation?

Osmosis


Definition:

  • (n.) Osmose.

  • (20) The hydraulic resistance was measured on internodal cells of Nitellopsis obtusa using the method of transcellular osmosis.

Permeation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of permeating, passing through, or spreading throughout, the pores or interstices of any substance.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In both instances the permeation rates of proteins can be better correlated to hydrodynamic radii than to molecular weights.

  • (4) At 5 micrometer and 2.5 mM sulphanilic acid under aerobic conditions, the regression lines for the permeation from lumen to blood pass almost through the origin, while the regression lines for the permeation from blood to lumen intersect the ordinate at a positive Y-value.
