Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Diffusion results because of the random movement of particles. The diffusion of water into and out of a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. Because of the selectively permeable membrane, nothing but water and other very small particles can be diffused through osmosis. The cell membrane is similar to the membrane mentioned above, so the cell would …showed first 75 words of 630 total…

One way the experiment could have been improved was to measure the size of the potato cores with more precision, otherwise, in my opinion, the experiment was flawless, and I think no errors could have been made. For future studies, one could use some other kinds of cells (animal perhaps) and measure the percent change in mass, or have more levels of sucrose concentrations (1.0, 1.2)
