- You fill a bag made of semipermeable membrane with a .5 mol/litre solution of sugar, seal it and immerse it into a .3mol/litre solution of salt and water. Which description best fits what will happen. 1) The environment is hypertonic to the contents, so the bag will shrink as water leaves the bag. 2)The environment is hypotonic to the contents, so the bag will expand as water enters the bag. 3) The environment is hypertonic to the contents, so the bag will expand as water enters the bag. 4) The environment is hypotonic to the contents, so the bag will shrink as water leaves the bag.arrow_forwardWhat is osmosis? a. the process where water diffuses across the cells' membrane from an area of lower water concentration to an area of higher water concentration b.

Procedure This experiment is designed to demonstrate the principles of osmosis with living plant tissues. Using a corkborer, bore two equal-sized cylinders of freshly cut raw potato. Feel them and note the degree of firmness. Place one potato piece in a culture dish containing enough five percent salt solution to cover the potato completely. Place the second potato piece in a culture dish containing the same amount of distilled water. After about 20 minutes, examine both pieces of potato and note any changes in their degree of firmness. b.
