Definition that contains osmosis
- osmotic of or relating to osmosis
- permeability the property of something that can be pervaded by a liquid (as by osmosis or diffusion)
- 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
- osmotic pressure (physical chemistry) the pressure exerted by a solution necessary to prevent osmosis into that solution when it is separated from the pure solvent by a semipermeable membrane
- osmotically by means of osmosis
- permeableness the property of something that can be pervaded by a liquid (as by osmosis or diffusion)
