Usage: technical; biology; chemistry
Examples
- The exosmoses observed in the laboratory demonstrated how water moves across cell membranes.
- Multiple exosmoses occurred simultaneously in the experimental setup with different salt concentrations.
- Understanding exosmoses is essential for studying plant physiology and osmotic pressure.
- The rate of exosmoses increased when the external solution became more concentrated.
- Biologists measured the exosmoses to determine the osmotic potential of the cells.
