The below mentioned article includes a list of four simple experiments on osmosis. 1. Experiment to demonstrate the osmosis by using sheet of cellophane or goat bladder: Requirements: Beaker, thistle funnel, goat bladder or sheet of cellophane, thread, water and sugar solution. Method: 1. Cover the lower opening of the glass tube with the goat bladder or sheet of cellophane [...]
In this article we will discuss about the process of osmosis in plants. It is usually seen, that when two liquids of different densities are separated from each other by placing a membrane between them, by which the water of the liquid of lower density flows towards the liquid of higher density, then such separating membrane is called the semipermeable [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between diffusion and osmosis. Difference # Diffusion: 1. Diffusion can occur in any medium. 2. The diffusing molecules may be solids, liquids or gases. 3. Semipermeable membrane is not required. 4. It is dependent upon the free energy of the molecules of diffusing substance only; presence of other substances in the [...]
