B1 cells - osmosis
  1. DEFINITON - osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration to a region of lower water concentration.
    1. osmosis is a special case of diffusion
      1. a partially permeable membrane is just one very small holes in it. So small, only tiny molecules can pass through them and bigger molecules can't
        1. the water molecules actually pass both ways through the membrane during osmosis. This happens because water molecules move about randomly all the time.
          1. but because there are more water molecules on one side than on the other, there's a steady net flow of water into the region with fewer water molecules
            1. this means the strong sugar solutions get more dilute. the water acts like it's trying to 'even up' the concentration either side of the membrane
          2. you can observe the effect of sugar solutions on plant tissue - PRATICAL
            1. 1. You cut up a potato into identical cylinders, and get some beakers with different sugar solutions in them. one should be pure water and another should be a very concentrated sugar solutions, then you can have a few others with concentrations in between
              1. 2. measure the mass of the cylinders, then leave one cylinder in each beaker for 24 hours or so.
                1. 3. then take them out, dry them with a paper towel and measure their masses again
                  1. 4. If the cylinders have drawn in water by osmosis, they'll have increased in mass. if water has been drawn out, they'll have decreased in mass. you can calculate the percentage change in mass then plot a few graphs and things.
                    1. 5. the dependent variable is the potato mass and the independent variable is the concentration of the sugar solution. ALL other variables must be kept the same in each case or the experiment won't be a fair test
                      1. 6. you need to be aware of the errors that may arise. sometimes they may occur when carrying out the method e.g if some potato cylinders weren't fully dried, the excess water would give a higher mass or if water evaporated from the beakers, the concentrations of the sugar solutions would change.
                        1. you can reduce the effect of these errors by repeating the experiment and calculating a mean percentage change at each concentration
