the diagram shows how oxygen and sugar are separated

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. Molecules move to a higher solute concentration. The osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure required to maintain an equilibrium that doesn't have any net movement of solvent.

the diagram shows how water is being released from an object and what it looks like

(1) Medical Knowledge on X: "Two forces govern water's movement across capillaries: Hydrostatic pressure (blood pressure): - pressure generated by contractions of the heart during systole -- drives fluid out of vessels Osmotic pressure: - due to the hypertonicity of blood -- retains fluid within vessels https://t.co/ldPYq9Zzjp" / X

the diagram shows different types of plants and how to use them

The stem provides support to the plant cells. In the stem, the function of support is shared among various living cells of the epidermis, cortex, and pith that take in water by osmosis. Thus an internal pressure is developed known as Hydrostatic Pressure“ or “Turgor Pressure” that is exerted outwards on the cell wall. Turgor Pressure keeps the plant rigid and resistant to bending. If plants lose their turgidity, they become wilt. It is generated by the high osmotic pressure of the cell…

the structure of an animal's body and its external structures are labeled in red, blue, and white

Starling forces consist of hydrostatic pressure and osmotic (oncotic) pressure. Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure of the fluid within the blood vessel, while osmotic pressure is the “sucking” pressure drawing water toward solutes. Oncotic pressure is osmotic pressure due to proteins. Hydrostatic pressure forces fluid out at the arteriolar end of a capillary bed; oncotic pressure draws it back in at the venule end. Prevents edema (buildup of interstitial fluid from hydrostatic pressure).
