Summary Introduction
To identify:
The common uses of osmotic pressure as a control method.
Concept introduction:
Osmosis is the process by which water is diffused from a higher concentration to lower across the cell membrane. Osmotic pressure plays an important role in the transport of substances in cells. This method is exploited in controlling bacterial growth.
