Let’s Go With The Flow

A Review of Osmosis and Diffusion

Last week we discussed the two passive processes known

as osmosis and diffusion.

Let’s see if you remember the difference between the two!

The following picture best describes the process of:

Why doesn’t the sucrose move???

Both beakers below contain water. Which beaker contains the higher concentration of

water?

2. Beaker two

3. Both beakers have the same concentration of water

Solute of some type was added to beaker A. Now which beaker has the

higher concentration of water

Beaker A Beaker B

3. Both contain the same concentration of water.

In order to bring the two beakers “closer” in terms of their concentration of water, you

could…

2. Add more water to beaker A

3. Remove some solute from beaker A

4. Add more water to beaker B

This Next Question Is Tricky!

Put Your Thinking Caps On!!!

Let’s assume there are ten solute particles in beaker A. How many solute particles would you add to beaker B in order to create two solutions

with equal concentrations?

You are observing a beaker that contains a sugar solution and potato core. Based on the drawing and the concentrations, where is there a higher

concentration of water?

10% solute

5 % solute

Since there is a higher concentration of water in the solution surrounding the potato,

in which direction will the water flow?

10% solute

5 % solute

2. Out of the potato

3. In and out of the potato at the same rate

This one is easy. Where is there a higher concentration of water?
