A definition of osmosis from 'Britannica Encyclopedia' is: "the flow of water by diffusion through a differentially permeable membrane from areas of high water concentration to regions of low water concentration." I plan to investigate this phenomenon using the methods expressed below: My Procedure For this experiment I plan to cut out eighteen thin strips of potatoes of uniform size.
