41. The water potential in blood will decrease due to the increase solutes, and blood osmotic pressure will increase. 42. Nernst researched osmotic pressure and electrochemistry. 43. Osmotic shock is a sudden reduction in osmotic pressure , this can cause cells in a solution to rupture. 44. The function of these cells is to regulate the osmotic pressure of the worm, and maintain its ionic balance. 45. Osmotic pressure is a measure of the tendency of water to move into one solution from another by osmosis.46. When looking at relations between high osmotic pressure and low, solutions with higher concentrations of salt have higher pressure. 47. In practice, the osmotic pressure produced by an ideally dilute solution would be too small to be accurately measured. 48. With the sodium inside the cells instead of outside, the osmotic pressure reverses, pushing water and nutrients into cells. 49. Osmotic pressure is the basis of filtering ( " reverse osmosis " ), a process commonly used in water purification.50. Inhibiting the enzyme will prevent bacterial wall formation and ultimately result in lysis of the bacteria cell by osmotic pressure .
