Explanation & Answer

1. Tonicity is the measure of osmotic pressure gradient between two solutions. Osmolarity is the measure of solute concentration per volume unit of solvent. Although these definitions are seemingly similar, tonicity is a product of comparing two substances. In contrast, osmolarity defines a single substance. These can be used in combination to gain insight on concentrations throughout the body. For example, you can compare the fluid in the distal kidney with fluid in the proximal kidney and find that in the distal kidney, there is higher osmolarity or is hypertonic. 2. Homeostasis is the mechanisms that our bodi...
