The solution inside will become more concentrated, making the solution outside more dilute and water will move into the cell by osmosis
4 of 7
What happens if the cell contains lots of water?
The solution inside will be more dilute and water will be drawn out into the outside fluid by osmosis
5 of 7
What experiment can show osmosis?
You can cut potatoes into equal lengths and measure the size. Place a few cylinders of potato into different sugar solutions and leave to rest. Then measure the lengths at the end.
