The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Diffusion Pressure Deficit and Water Potential. Difference # Diffusion Pressure Deficit: 1. It is an old term coined by Meyer (1938) which is synonym with water potential. 2. It has positive value, e.g., 5 atm. 3. Diffusion pressure deficit is the reduction in diffusion pressure of solvent in a system [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Imbibition and Osmosis. Difference # Imbibition: 1. It involves the absorption of solvent or water by a solid substance. 2. A semi-permeable membrane is not required. 3. Imbibition does not produce a solution. 4. It produces heat. 5. It can develop a very high pressure (up to 1000 atm) called [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Semipermeable Membrane and Selectively Permeable Membranes. Difference # Semipermeable Membranes: 1. It does not allow passage of solutes through it. 2. It forms a perfect partition between two osmotically active solutions or between a solution and its pure solvent. 3. It allows entry of only solvent. 4. It is not [...]
