    Osmosis SI

    Uploaded by

    Book Worm
    The document is a biology revision sheet containing questions about osmosis. It asks students to explain why water molecules change but sugar molecules stay the same in a U-shaped tube experiment. It also asks about the plasma membrane's comparison to the tube membrane and the behavior of water molecules in isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions as well as the effects on cells and plants in each type of solution.

    1. Look at the U-shaped tube at the top of the transparency. Why did the number of water
    molecules on each side of the membrane change, whereas the number of sugar molecules
    stayed the same?
