In these osmotic experiments pressure P was varied using a sucrose solution of defined osmolarity. |
In both cases, leaf water and osmotic potential was lower than that of plants grown under conditions. |
Such properties include the lowering of vapor pressure, the elevation of boiling point, and the lowering of freezing point and osmotic pressure. |
When cyanobacterial cells are immersed in buffers of high osmotic strength, phycobilisome diffusion is strongly inhibited. |
With time, as osmotic gradients are building up, the apparent stoichiometry tends to increase toward isotonicity. |
The cytoplasm contains, in addition to digestive vacuoles, contractile vacuoles which probably function in the control of osmotic pressures. |
