Osmosis outcomes5 objectives
- Identify that water moves through partially permeable membranes via osmosis.
- Recognize that water enters and exits cells through the cell membrane by osmosis.
- Conduct an investigation and explain how different concentration solutions affect plant tissues.
- Explain osmosis as the movement of water molecules from an area of higher water potential (dilute solution) to an area of lower water potential (concentrated solution) through a partially permeable membrane.
- Clarify the impact on plant cells when placed in solutions of varying concentrations using terms such as turgid, turgor pressure, plasmolysis, and flaccid.
