Diffusion‚ Osmosis and Active Transport Substances will move through the membrane by diffusion. This is the random spreading out of particles until they are even. For example‚ when you put your instant coffee in boiling water‚ the coffee particles spread out and fill the entire mug‚ this is diffusion. A second way that substances can move through the cell membrane is by osmosis. This is a special type of diffusion where water moves from a high to a low concentration through a ’partially permeable

As discussed in the intro‚ the purpose of this lab is to observe principles of homeostasis and osmosis in action. The results of this experiment showed that eggs placed in a 4 M sucrose solution lost mass over time and had the greatest percent difference in mass compared to the eggs in other solutions‚ with the 4 M egg having an average of -25.13% difference in mass. The 0.0 M solution egg only had a 12.28 average percent difference in mass‚ the 0.5 M egg with 10.39%‚ and the 1 M egg with the least

Rogers (1962) was the first one to introduce and define the term compatibility in his Innovation Diffusion Theory. “Compatibility assesses the extent of congruence between a new technology and various aspects of the individual and the situation in which the technology will be utilized” (Karahanna et al.‚ 2006‚ p. 782).
