Osmosis most likely occurred in the bag containing a higher concentration of solute compared to the surrounding solution. Water molecules would have moved from the area of lower solute concentration to the area of higher solute concentration, through the semi-permeable membrane of the bag, in an attempt to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides.
The osmosis bag containing the solution with the highest concentration of sugar gained the most weight in the experiment. This is because water moved from the lower concentration solution inside the bag to the higher concentration solution outside the bag through osmosis, causing the bag to swell and gain weight.
Yes, osmosis can occur in a salted egg. The high salt concentration in the brine will cause water to move out of the egg through osmosis, which helps preserve the egg and enhances its flavor.
Osmosis does not occur when the concentration of solute is the same on both sides of the membrane, creating an isotonic environment where there is no net movement of water molecules. Additionally, osmosis may not occur if the membrane is impermeable to water molecules, preventing their movement across the membrane.
In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water across the cell membrane, as the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell is equal. Therefore, osmosis does not occur in an isotonic solution.
Yes, osmosis can still occur if the electrolytes are the same. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. The presence of electrolytes does not prevent this process from taking place.
If you place a dialysis bag filled with water into a beaker of water, there will be no significant change in the dialysis bag's contents, as both are isotonic. Since there is no concentration gradient for water to move across the semi-permeable membrane of the dialysis bag, osmosis will not occur. The bag will remain filled with water, and the surrounding water in the beaker will remain at the same level. However, if the dialysis bag contains solutes that are not present in the beaker, osmosis may occur, leading to a change in the bag's volume.
The osmosis bag containing the solution with the highest concentration of sugar gained the most weight in the experiment. This is because water moved from the lower concentration solution inside the bag to the higher concentration solution outside the bag through osmosis, causing the bag to swell and gain weight.
The cell does not need to use any ATP in order for osmosis to occur.
The starch solution diffuses out of the bag during osmosis.
Cell
No, osmosis is a type of diffusion. Diffusion never requires work. Osmosis occurs when water seeks equilibrium. The water will naturally try to have the same amount of solvents in it without work from the cell. You can do osmosis experiments using a dialysis bag. Put solvent (such as sugar) in the bag with some water. Then put the bag in a cup of water. Watch what happens :)

if the membrane is intact and there is a change of concentration of solut or solvent, osmosis should happen.
osmosis
This is called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. It does not require the presence of other molecules for it to occur.
When a tea bag is placed in hot water, the water molecules move from an area of higher concentration (in the water) to an area of lower concentration (inside the tea bag). This movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane (the tea bag) is a model of osmosis. As the water molecules move into the tea bag, it causes the tea leaves and other contents to swell in size, demonstrating the process of osmosis in action.
