    Question: What effect do different concentrations of a sugar solution have on the egg and its weight? Background Research: Osmosis is the passive transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Other than the concentration gradient, a factor that affects osmosis is temperature. The higher the temperature, the faster osmosis takes place. Osmosis doesn’t require energy for it to take place. However, osmosis does have a
