Although, liquid water will only move in response to such differences in osmotic potential if a semipermeable membrane exists between the zones of high and low osmotic potential.

Since regions of soil are usually not divided by a semipermeable membrane, the osmotic potential typically has a negligible influence on the mass movement of water in soils.

Pure water is usually defined as having an osmotic potential ( \ Psi _ \ pi ) of zero, and in this case, solute potential can never be positive.

These chondrogenic cells differentiate into so-called chondroblasts, which then synthesize the cartilage extra cellular matrix ( ECM ), consisting of a ground substance ( proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans for low osmotic potential ) and fibers.
16.
According to the Boyle & ndash; v'ant Hoff Relation, the product of osmotic potential and volume of solution should be a constant for any given amount of osmotically active solutes in an ideal osmotic system.
17.
To exist in such conditions, halophytes tend to be subject to the uptake of high levels of salt into their cells, and this is often required to maintain an osmotic potential lower than that of the soil to ensure water uptake.
18.
For both seedlings and emblings, osmotic potential at saturation ( ? sat ) and turgor loss point ( ? tip ) increased from a low of-1.82 and-2.22 MPa, respectively, just prior to planting to a seasonal high of-1.09 and-1.21 MPa, respectively, during active shoot elongation.
19.
Because of the high solute concentration of the rumen fluid under such conditions, considerable water is translocated from the blood to the rumen along the osmotic potential gradient, resulting in dehydration which cannot be relieved by drinking, and which can ultimately lead to hypovolemic shock . where it dissociates, lowering blood pH . Both L and D isomers of lactic acid are produced in the rumen; these isomers are metabolized by different metabolic pathways, and activity of the principal enzyme involved in metabolism of the D isomer declines greatly with lower pH, tending to result in an increased ratio of D : L isomers as acidosis progresses.
