Biology · Secondary 3 · Hard · Osmosis
A piece of dialysis tubing filled with 10% sugar solution is placed in a beaker of distilled water and left for 30 minutes. The tubing acts like a partially permeable membrane. What will happen to the volume of liquid inside the tubing, and why?
- Volume decreases because water leaves by osmosis.
- Volume decreases because sugar diffuses out.
- Volume increases because water enters by osmosis.
- Volume stays the same because no net movement of water occurs.
