Abstract
The discovery of heavy water laid the foundation for direct investigations on the rate of its diffusion into plant and animal tissues. A whole number of studies carried out in this direction confirmed the remarkable ease with which water enters animal and plant cells (Hevesy 1934 and Hofer 1934, Wartiovaara 1944, Thimann 1955 and Samuel 1955, Kutyurin 1956, Ordin 1956 and Bonner 1956, Ordin 1956 and Kramer 1956, Lebedev 1959, Lebede 1960, Vartapetyan 1960, Vartapetyan 1962, Ducet 1960 and Vandewalle 1960, Hübner 1960, Samuilov 1962 and Efremov 1962, Lebedev 1963, Sabinina 963 and Chuchkin 1963). In accordance with experimental and theoretical data it was established that when tissues are immersed in heavy water solutions or when they are transferred from heavy water to H2O a certain water exchange occurs in them in compliance with the laws of diffusion of two-component systems.
