Evaluation Introduction We must prepare an investigation to find out how much sugar that a vegetable will acquire during the process of osmosis. For this study I will be placing 4 vegetables of precise measurements into 6 different solutions ranging from 0.0 to 1.0 molars of sugar. I will now explain osmosis briefly. Some membranes in plant and animal cells allow certain particles to pass through them and not others. They are selectively permeable. * The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. The rate at which osmosis takes place is affected by the concentration of water in the two solutions on each side of the membrane. * If a selectively permeable membrane separates the two solutions, water moves through it in both directions at the same time. However, more water leaves a dilute solution (high water concentration) and passes
