osmosis 音标拼音: [ ,ɔzm'osɪs] n. 渗透作用,渗透性 渗透作用,渗透性 osmosis n 1: ( biology, chemistry) diffusion of molecules through a semipermeable membrane from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration until the concentration on both sides is equalosmosis \ os* mo" sis\ ([ o^] z* m[= o]" s[ i^] s), n. [ NL., fr. Gr. ' wsmo` s, equiv. to ' w^ sis impulse, fr. ' wqei^ n to push.] ( Chemical Physics) ( a) The tendency in fluids to mix, or become equably diffused, when in contact. It was first observed between fluids of differing densities, and as taking place through a membrane or an intervening porous structure. An older term for the phenomenon was { Osmose}. Note: The more rapid flow from the thinner to the thicker fluid was then called { endosmosis} ( formerly { endosmose}), and the opposite, slower current, { exosmosis} ( formerly { exosmose}). Both are, however, results of the same force. Osmosis may be regarded as a form of molecular attraction, allied to that of adhesion. See also { osmotic pressure}. ( b) The action produced by this tendency.
