Biology

Nesterboy [21]3 years ago

Because the blood osmotic pressure is isotonic

Osmosis happens only when there are differences in the concentration of the ion. If the concentration is same, called isotonic, the osmotic pressure will be same and no water will be moved. 
This is why resuscitation fluid mostly used isotonic solution(0.9%NaCl), to prevent osmosis to the cells.

Honey can be extracted only two or three times a year from a traditional beehive. A modern beehive produces double to triple the volume of honey compared to a traditional hive.
