Introduction In Diffusion‚ Dialysis & Osmosis lab‚ we discovered that we were going to observe and understand the conditions under which diffusion‚ dialysis‚ and osmosis occur. Then we constructed models of diffusion‚ dialysis‚ and osmosis. We predicted that the direction of change would be from the membrane to the beaker. We understood how these processes affected the selectivity of the cell membrane. The second part of the lab was dealing with dialysis. In this part we studied starch and sodium
