The 86 pages that link to Osmosis, each with the reason it gives.

• MannitolRelated: Mannitol raises solute concentration in blood and kidney filtrate, drawing water along osmotic gradients.

• AnhydrobiosisRelated: Osmotic forces shape the cellular water loss that precedes anhydrobiosis.

• CryoprotectantRelated: Cryoprotectant-driven water shifts can shrink cells before freezing and cause injury if excessive.

• FODMAPsRelated: Unabsorbed FODMAPs can draw water into the intestinal lumen by osmosis.

• Salt toleranceNarrower topic: Salty environments draw water out of cells through osmotic movement.

• Contractile vacuoleRelated: Water enters many protists by osmosis, creating the excess the vacuole removes.

• CytosolRelated: Differences between cytosolic and surrounding solute concentrations drive water movement across cell membranes.

• Liquid waterRelated: Liquid water moves across biological membranes in response to differences in dissolved substances.

• LumenRelated: Water movement can alter the volume and pressure of a membrane-enclosed lumen.

• Osmotic diarrheaNarrower topic: Poorly absorbed luminal solutes create the osmotic gradient that retains water in the intestine.

• BaklavaRelated: Syrup gradually moves into the pastry, changing its moisture and texture.

• ColeslawRelated: Salt and dressing draw water from cabbage cells, softening the shreds and thinning the dressing.

• NanofiltrationRelated: Osmotic pressure opposes the pressure-driven water flow in nanofiltration.

• FetaRelated: Salt exchange between feta and its brine affects moisture and saltiness.

• Isotonic solutionNarrower topic: Equal osmotic pressures balance the solvent flow that osmosis would otherwise produce.

• LactuloseNarrower topic: Unabsorbed lactulose retains water in the bowel through an osmotic effect.

• Passive transportBroader topic: Water moves passively across membranes, often through specialized channels.

• Hypertonic solutionNarrower topic: Water crosses the membrane toward the hypertonic side, producing the defining volume change.

• LactitolNarrower topic: Lactitol’s osmotic activity draws water into the bowel when it remains unabsorbed.

• ProtozoaRelated: Water influx makes contractile-vacuole activity essential for many freshwater forms.

• Salted fishRelated: Salt draws water from fish tissue and microbial cells by creating a concentration gradient.

• Wood frogRelated: Ice formation outside cells draws water out, creating a risk of cell dehydration.

• DiafiltrationCompared with: Unlike osmosis, diafiltration uses applied pressure and added solvent to drive separation.

• Jellyfish as foodRelated: Salt draws water from jellyfish tissue during curing.

• Peter AgreRelated: Aquaporins accelerate water movement while osmotic forces determine its direction.

• Pickled cucumberRelated: Salt draws water from cucumber tissue and helps exchange liquid with the surrounding brine.

• Body fluidRelated: It helps determine how water shifts between fluid compartments.

• Body fluid compartmentsRelated: It drives water shifts between compartments when their effective solute concentrations differ.

• Cured fishRelated: Salt gradients help move water out of fish tissue during curing.

• Diffusion and random walksRelated: Random molecular motion underlies the solvent transport, though membranes shape its direction.

• Dried fishRelated: Salt draws water from fish tissue when drying is combined with salting.

• Gibbs–Donnan effectRelated: Donnan ion imbalances can draw water across the membrane.

• Hypotonic (osmotic solution)Narrower topic: It is the water movement a hypotonic solution drives across a semipermeable membrane.

• Properties of waterRelated: Water’s interactions with solutes drive its movement across biological membranes.

• Saline waterRelated: Salinity differences drive water movement across cell membranes.

• Transport (biology)Broader topic: It is water transport driven by a difference across a membrane.
