What's the difference between permeable and permeation?

Permeable


Definition:

  • (a.) Capable of being permeated, or passed through; yielding passage; passable; penetrable; -- used especially of substances which allow the passage of fluids; as, wood is permeable to oil; glass is permeable to light.

Example Sentences:

  • (15) In the companion paper, we quantitatively account for the observation that the ability of a solute to promote fusion depends on its permeability properties and the method of swelling.
  • (16) [14C]Sucrose biliary clearance increased in treated animals, suggesting an increased permeability of the biliary system to sucrose.
  • (17) The stimulation was not due to increased permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane.
  • (18) The roles of Mg, K, Na, and Cl ions in the biphasic K-permeability response (86Rb release) to receptor activation in the parotid gland were investigated.
  • (19) Investigation of the mechanism of action of the synergistic effect between kanamycin and HA led to the tentative conclusion that potentiation was mediated through an initial alteration of cell permeability by the aminoglycoside antibiotic which permitted accumulation of each of the six HA into the cell, at which point each interacted with pyridoxal phosphate.
  • (20) Values obtained for the permeability of the epithelium of each of these regions, after separation from the connective tissue with EDTA, did not differ significantly from those obtained for the intact tissue; however, the connective tissue alone had a permeability 2-8 times greater than that of the whole tissue.

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.
