Osmosis
Biology · Secondary 3 · Hard · Osmosis
In an osmosis experiment, a visking tubing (partially permeable membrane) is filled with concentrated sugar solution and placed in a beaker of distilled water. After 30 minutes, what change will be seen in the level of liquid inside the tubing, and why?
- The level inside the tubing rises because water enters the tubing by osmosis.
- The level inside the tubing falls because water leaves the tubing by osmosis.
- The level inside the tubing stays the same because no net movement of water occurs.
- The level inside the tubing falls because sugar diffuses out into the distilled water.
