Dialysis tubing is often used to model a cell because it is permeable to water molecules but impermeable to solutes such as sucrose and starch. During this experiment, 3 dialysis tubes were half-filled with different sucrose solutions: 10%, 20%, and 30%. One dialysis tubing was half-filled with distilled water. The initial mass of each tube was found. Each dialysis tube was placed in a beaker containing distilled water, then the final mass was found. Results are shown in the table below.
