In the experiment, we observed a beaker filled with distilled water and Lugol’s iodine solution enter a bag filled with glucose and starch solution through the semipermeable membrane provided by the dialysis tubing.

Although water molecules are polar, they are small enough to move across the membrane until it reaches an isotonic solution. There was also now a presence of glucose in the…

They were deliberately placed in a room with no mental stimuli, which allowed them to see if the children could distract themselves from the reward.…
