What are some other biological examples of solutes affecting water potential and therefore movement of water in a living organism? Find examples in both plant and animal.
The beaker is divided into two compartments (C and D) that has equal volumes of solution separated by an artificial membrane that has a pore size of 23 Å (Angstrom). Explain the movement of solute after eight hours if comparment C has 17 % sucrose while the compartment D has 2 % sucrose (diameter of sucrose molecule = 9 Å (Angstrom))

To determine the molarity five uniform apple cores were massed before submerging them in different molarity solutions. After 24 hours the apple cores were massed again. Then the percent change in mass was determined for the five uniform apple cores in each molarity solution.
