Question

Design your own experiment to test the movement of water into or out of a substance/ organism. Consider things like living/ nonliving, adding solutes, varying time, varying temperature, in your design. Illustrate and explain your experiment AND your hypothesis.

Answer 1

My experiment would involve testing the movement of water into or out of a living organism. I would design an experiment where I add a certain amount of a solute to a living organism, such as a plant, then measure the amount of water that enters or leaves the organism over a period of time. In addition, I would vary the temperatures to see how the rate of movement is affected. My hypothesis is that the rate of water movement will increase as the temperature increases, and the amount of solute added to the organism will also affect the rate of water movement.
