Abstract Concept
From yunani
Meaning of Osmosis
The process of solvent molecules moving through a semipermeable membrane from a lower concentration solution to a higher concentration solution.
- difusiDiffusion is a broader concept that does not require a membrane, whereas osmosis specifically involves a semipermeable membrane and the movement of solvent molecules.
- endosmosisEndosmosis is a more specific terminological variant of osmosis, referring to the inward direction of solvent movement into a compartment with higher osmotic pressure.
- permeasiPermeation is a broader term encompassing various mechanisms of substance transfer through media, including but not limited to the osmotic process.
- plasmolisisPlasmolysis is a biological phenomenon that is a direct consequence of osmosis in plant cells, making the two causally related in the context of cell physiology.
- tekanan osmotikOsmotic pressure is not a direct synonym but a closely related concept frequently used alongside osmosis in scientific contexts to explain the driving force of the process.
