Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules from an area of high concentration of sucrose solution to an area of lower concentration of sucrose solution, through a selectively permeable membrane. The water molecules move down a concentration gradient in osmosis. Two diagrams of osmosis are shown in figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 shows the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of highly concentrated sucrose solution to an area of lower concentrated …showed first 75 words of 2300 total…

The replicates which had large differences between masses might explain why some of my results were anomalous also. However, these anomalous results did fit with the trends of the experiment on a large scale as I have previously concluded. I could also have improved reliability by using more replicates as this would have made my results more concrete.
