osmotic pressure
measure of the tendency of a solution to take in pure solvent by osmosis
AI overview
Osmotic pressure is a measure of how strongly a solution pulls in pure solvent through a membrane that lets water through but blocks dissolved particles. It matters because it helps explain why water moves in and out of cells and other systems, which is important for understanding how living things maintain their balance.
