Why would osmotic pressure be low in someone who is starving?
histamines.
The pressure needed to stop osmosis is called?
The osmotic pressure. This is the pressure which would have to be applied to a solution to stop water entering if it was separated from pure water by a semipermeable membrane.
How would a fluid with a high solute concentration affect osmotic pressure when compared to water?
Fluid with a high solute concentration would be hyper-osmotic compared to water, and thus would be expected to exert osmotic pressure if separated from pure water with a semipermeable membrane.
Changes in blood osmotic pressure would affect the levels of?
Antidiuretic hormone
Will osmotic pressure be generated if solutes are able to diffuse?
Well on this one you would have to ask your talented teacher , who went to school for this :) peace out
Changes in blood osmotic pressure would most affect the secretion of?
ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone)
What is the definition of osmotic potential?
What is osmotic potential?Osmotic potential is defined as the ability of a solution to suck water in if it was separated from another solution by a semi-permeable (meaning water gets through, but not the solution) membrane. This means that if you have pure water next to salt water, separated by such a membrane, the pure water would run over to the saltwater, while the water in the saltwater would stay where it is. Water, then, always moves towards a higher concentration, from high pressure to low pressure. This is also how trees get water from the roots up to the canopy, as they don't have beating heart like we do. The plants use their osmotic potential to transport water through the cells from the bottom (roots) where the osmotic pressure is high, to the top (canopy) where the osmotic pressure is low. As the water is transported up, the osmotic pressure in the roots sinks, allowing more water to run in from the soil.
What would happen to an individual playing a long game of basketball outdoors on a hot afternoon?
The osmotic pressure of the blood would decrease!
Proteins given intravenously would raise a patient's blood volume and pressure?
Proteins given intravenously would raise a patient's blood volume and pressure. This is mainly due to the fact that solutes have the same osmotic pressure.
What determines the osmotic pressure of any given solution?
Osmotic pressure of saline (0.91% NaCl w/v) is arround 0.0085 ATM.The osmotic pressure is 7.58 ATM at 25 °C. P=MRT The molarity of 0.9% NaCl is 0.155M. But it has 2 ions per formula so 0.31 mol/L * 0.082 latm/Kmol * 298K= 7.58 ATM
What effect would being in a desert without water have on your plasma osmotic concentration?
Being without a source of water causes the body to seek homeostasis. This involves the osmotic pressure between cells to begin drawing water from other parts of your body.
If you place a red blood cell in disstilled water what would happen to the cell And why?
The cell would swell and burst because of the osmotic pressure causes water to move into the cell.
