Everyday Osmosis

Do you want to see an example of osmosis that you can recreate in your kitchen? How about an example of osmosis occurring in plants? Want to see the egg example again? An osmosis animation? Explain why the large molecules in the osmosis animation remain on the right side of the membrane. Please share your thoughts!

How do materials move across the cell membrane?

Do you want to know more about passive transport? Osmosis? Active transport?

What is a concentration gradient? A solute? How do they effect the rate of passive transport? Please respond!
