    The document describes an experiment investigating osmosis using three visking tubings (X, Y, Z) containing different sugar solutions that were placed in a beaker of a 5% sugar solution. Tubing Y showed movement of the liquid towards the higher sugar concentration inside the tubing. Tubing Z showed movement of the liquid towards the lower sugar concentration outside the tubing. Tubing X acted as a control. The experiment investigated osmosis and its role in transporting water and dissolved substances in plant cells.
