A Think about diffusion and osmosis what would happen in the potato experiment if the potatoes were incubated in the refrigerator instead of at room temperature Why B Diffusion is affected by the size of the molecule that is diffusing Think about the potato experiment Do you think the potato experiment would work differently if we used a different kind of solution We are using NaCl MW 58 44 g mol what if we used sucrose MW 342 3 g mol Why or why not C In lecture we described the process of osmosis as the diffusion of water through a semi permeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration The manifestation of osmosis depends on which specific molecules a membrane allows movement to For example consider a setup as shown below In situation 1 the membrane dotted line allows movement of water ONLY In situation 2 the membrane allows passage of water and Na2 and C1 A B
