Investigate the factors affecting osmosis in plant tissue Aim: To explore how the concentration of a sucrose solution affects the rate of osmosis Introduction: Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration until they are spread out evenly. An example of diffusion is when an aerosol is sprayed. The particles spread out from the high concentration at the nozzle into the rest of the room and that is how the smell moves. Osmosis is the passage of water molecules from a weaker solution to a stronger solution through a partially permeable membrane. Osmosis is a type of diffusion involving water - the water molecules move from a weak solution (with a high concentration of water) into a strong solution (with a low concentration of water). This can be shown in a diagram The cell membrane in a plant cell is partially permeable - it has small holes that can...
