Question

What happens to when the external pressure applied becomes more than the osmotic pressure?

Answer 1

when external applied pressure becomes more than the osmotic pressure .. then the phenomena reverse osmosis takes place.. in which particles from solution move towards the solvent through a semi permiable membrane

Answer 2

Osmosis is one of the most popular molecule transportation methods,in both biological or non-biological aspects.

In the osmosis the molecules travels from the higher pressure zone to the lower pressure zone , in order to maintain an equilibrium state.

In the cases where the external pressure becomes greater than the osmosis pressure ,the direction of the molecules transportation also changes oppositely.

This phenomenon is also known as the reverse osmosis.
