Definitions of osmotic
  1. of or relating to osmosis
    "osmotic pressure"
Definition that contains osmotic
  • isotonic (used of solutions) having the same or equal osmotic pressure
  • hypertonic (of a solution) having a higher osmotic pressure than a comparison solution
  • isotonic solution a solution having the same osmotic pressure as blood
  • hypertonicity (of a solution) the extent to which a solution has a higher osmotic pressure than some other
  • saprophytic obtaining food osmotically from dissolved organic material
  • osmoreceptor sensory end organ that responds to changes in osmotic pressure
  • hypotonic (of a solution) having a lower osmotic pressure than a comparison solution
  • isosmotic (used of solutions) having the same or equal osmotic pressure
  • reverse osmosis (chemistry) a method of producing pure water; a solvent passes through a semipermeable membrane in a direction opposite to that for natural osmosis when it is subjected to a hydrostatic pressure greater than the osmotic pressure
  • hypotonicity (of a solution) the extent to which a solution has a lower osmotic pressure than some other
