Potatos
Tube one:
• Water concentration in tube is 80%
• Water concentration in beaker is 95%
• Water moves into tube 1
• By osmosis
• Movement of water from high to low conc., through partially permeable membrane
• Tube 1 increases mass/size
Tube two:
• Water concentration in tube is 100%
• Water concentration in beaker is 95%
• Water moves out of tube 2 by osmosis
• Tube 2 decreases mass/size
