1. The Karo syrup experiment started with our dialysis tubing bag with Karo syrup in the bag and the initial weight was 11.09 ounces. We left in a beaker of tap water for 45 minutes and the final weight was 17.98 ounces. The dialysis had a semipermeable membrane and the water soaked through the bag of the syrup. This created a solution of water and syrup
2. The plant takes up water by osmosis and starts to swell. The cell wall prevents it from bursting. Animal cells don’t have a cell wall so the cells will burst in a hypotonic solutions.
3. A wilted plant would have vacuoles are unreplenished. The lack of water causes the cell walls to lose their structure and the plant as a whole wilts.
4. In hypertonic solution, the cell will shrink and
