Spencer Goldberg November 25, 2014 Period 3 Diffusion and Osmosis Abstract: This laboratory experiment demonstrates the processes of diffusion, osmosis, and the effect of solute concentration on water potential in a model membrane system. In part A of the experiment, the diffusion of small molecules through dialysis tubing was being tested. First, a dialysis bag, with the intention of serving as a selectively permeable membrane, was filled with a glucose and starch solution and then placed in…
