Diffusion and Osmosis Labs


Diffusion
     -Molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration
     -Movement by molecular motion
     -Trying to get equality
Osmosis
     -A type of diffusion
     -Transport of water
     -Selectively allows passage of certain types of molecules while restricting movement of other.

Part 2:
     Lucy and I created 6 "cells" from dialysis tubing, filled them with color solution of different molars, and let them sit in distilled water in order to test the movement of water from a higher concentration to lower concentration.
     We were able to observe osmosis through the percent of change of the mass of each cell.
