Experiment Osmosis And Diffusion

Diffusion and osmosis are very similar in most aspect, the only distinct difference is that osmosis is exclusive to only water passing through the plasma membrane, while diffusion can be a variety of substances (Latham, 2013). Nevertheless, there are many factor that contribute to the rate of both diffusion and osmosis, such as temperature for example. The question being asked is, how does cold or warm temperature allow for faster diffusion/osmosis? My hypothesis is that warm water will more easily diffuse through a membrane, if given the ample opportunity. I will test this hypothesis by submerging dehydrated onions in different temperature waters to see which one absorbs the most water in a set period of time. (Word Count: 116)

In this synopsis I will discuss how I conducted my experiment and the results of which it provided. First, I gathered my materials, such as: two pans, dehydrated onions, water, ice cubes, a timer, and an eye on a stove to heat the water. After I collected my materials, I began my experiment by heating water in one of the pans on the stove to circa 120 degrees. While that water was heating up, I grabbed the other pan and

The main and obvious pro is the expelling of a pain that can not be satisfied by traditional forms of terminal pain management (“Euthanasia or Physician-Assisted Suicide”, 2013). It allows the patient to be put either out of their extensive pain or avoid the inevitable altogether before their condition begins to decline at a much more rapid rate. Another positive aspect of assisted suicide is giving the patient their own choice. As Americans, we have a certain level of rights as to what we do with our lives, yet if the government attempts to take this away then it could form a sort of resistance to arise. However, it does come along with some benefits, but they are limited. (Word Count:
