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 [...]
In this article we will discuss about the Flow of Source and Sink in Phloem Translocation. It is the long distance movement of organic substances from the source or supply end (region of manufacture or storage) to the region of utilization or sink. But the source and sink may be reversed depending on the season or need of the plants. [...]
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 [...]
