What is osmotic pressure, Biology

Assignment Help:

Osmotic pressure is the pressure formed in a aqueous solution by a region of lower solute concentration upon a region of superior solute concentration forcing the passage of water from that to this more concentrated region. The intensity of the osmotic pressure (in units of pressure) is equivalent to the pressure that is necessary to apply in the solution to stop its dilution by the entering of water by osmosis.
