the structure of the cell keeping all organisms in alignment. Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration‚ in order to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides. We didn ’t know anything about osmosis except that it was a word in the dictionary that we never picked up. Osmosis and diffusion are similar because osmosis is the result of diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane. If two solutions of different

Riley AP Biology Osmosis and Diffusion Lab I. Introduction: Diffusion is vital to many life functions of a cell‚ it allow the transportation of vitally important nutrients and compounds without the expenditure of excess metabolic energy. To explain diffusion‚ it is as if a bottle of perfume is opened at one end of the room‚ then in a short amount of time a person at the other end of the room can detect the scent of the perfume; this is the process of diffusion. Diffusion is a movement from

Transport of Solute in Solvent through Osmosis or Diffusion Due to Different Concentration Gradients Passing Through a Semi-permeable Membrane between Cell and Cells Environment Bio 101 Objective: The objective is to simulate passive transport: diffusion of solutes and osmosis of water through a semipermeable membrane (dialysis tubing). The experiment will show how molecules in solution move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration in the attempt to reach homeostasis
