In our lab, we were able to witness the process of osmosis and diffusion through dialysis tubing, starch, glucose, iodine, and water. The reason we chose to use these materials is because the dialysis tubing could act as a selective permeable cell membrane to view which molecules are able to pass through and which weren’t. We used the starch, since it is a polymer, and found out that it could not pass though the membrane. We used the glucose, which is a monomer, and found that it was easily able to go into a state of equilibrium with the water. The monomer was able to pass through the dialysis tubing due to its small size and the polymer was not due to its large size. This was what we had predicted in our hypothesis except for the fact that although the glucose did pass through the membrane it did not completely pass through only some of it to create equilibrium. In the starch and iodine solution it was the iodine which was allowed to pass thought the starch was not able to due to its large size further explaining why the water had eventually turned almost clear again compared to its brown looking initial state and the inside of the membrane had turned almost completely blue compared to the clear color it was before. When measuring the glucose both inside and out of the membrane we found that they both had some glucose in it, and although we could not visibly see the changes, it was noticed that the diffusion had occurred and since there was some glucose in each it is safe to say that the glucose did spread out to be equal. Another thing we had noticed was that the weight of the solution did not change which we thought was because since the molecules are evenly being distributed so is the weight. It was concluded that only certain molecules in a solution will move through the membrane from high to low concentrations of their solute or low to high concentrations of
