The Cell and its Environment: Osmosis

Overview

Demonstrate diffusion and osmosis experimentally Recognise that osmosis is a form of diffusion Recognise that plasmolysis can lead to wilting and haemolysis can lead to loss of blood

What you'll learn
  • Diffusion:
  • i. Definition
  • ii. Process
  • iii. Significance
  • Osmosis
  • I. Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
  • ii. Haemolysis
  • iii. Plasmolysis
  • iv. Osmometric with living Material
  • v. Biological significance of these processes
