When a woman becomes pregnant and the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine wall, the egg is surrounded by a balloon-type bag called the amniotic sac. The sac is a strong material but can be damaged-- example, in a major traffic accident. Amniotic fluid within the sac surrounds the fetus in a special fluid environment in which the fetus can grow. It is a self-contained sac, until the sac breaks just before delivery or is broken by a doctor to hasten labor. The sac expands during the full 9 months, enlarging as the fetus grows. It cushions the baby from most low-impact activities - example, walking. It also protects the fetus from external infections, giving the fetus the best opportunity to thrive.

Why does the solution of water and sugar move up the straw in a tied baggie when put in water?
Osmotic pressure. The concentration in the bag is greater than outside the bag. Sugar molecules cannot pass thru the bag but water can. To try to create the same concentration inside and outside the bag water moves into the bag to dilute the solution inside the bag. This extra water now in the bag causes the liquid to move up the straw.

What would happen to the weight of a dialysis bag filled with molasses placed in a beaker of water?
The water in the dialysis bag would diffuse out into the molasses solution. This is because there is a high concentration of water inside the dialysis bag and a a lower concentration of water in the molasses solution. By diffusion or osmosis, the water would tend to move from the concentrated bag to a less concentrated solution.
Why does the water turn brown when a tea bag is added in boiling water?
When a tea bag is placed in water, the water fills the tea bag. The soluble matter of the tea leaves, what essentially makes the tea, then diffuses into the water through the bag. The brown coloring is a result of this process.
