they too do not require an active role for the membrane. Osmosis is movement of water across a semipermeable membrane of low concentration to a solution of high concentration. On the other hand diffusion is movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration. Osmosis is a form of diffusion but a distinction would be that it deals essentially with water. Tonicity is what makes the cells either shrink or grow depending on the environment it is placed at‚ it is an osmotic pressure and

ABSTRACT: This experiment was to observe diffusion happening within the cells‚ and to help understand the sizes of molecules and how the chemical reactions take place. Therefore‚ the experiment was conducted using glucose and starch solution inside the dialysis tube. The starch and glucose that was put inside the dialysis tube help identify which of the two will reacted with potassium iodide inside the breaker‚ as the latter passed from the beaker into the tube‚ the glucose/starch solution’s change

Title : The movement of substances across a semi permeable membrane Objective : To study the movement of substances across a semi permeable membrane Problem statement : What factor influences the diffusion of substances through a semi permeable membrane? Hypothesis : The diffusion of molecules across a semi permeable membrane is based on the size of the molecule Variables: a) Manipulated : Size of solute molecules b) Responding : Colour of solution c) Fixed : Temperature and time

semipermeable membrane made to separate the interior of the cell from the exterior and regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell. Diffusion is how substances more in and out of the cell. There are several types of diffusion‚ but for the purposes of this lab‚ we will be focused on simple and osmosis. Simple diffusion and osmosis are vital for the diffusion of water and maintaining homeostasis. Homeostasis is the ability to maintain equilibrium and keep the organism alive. For example‚ if a cell
