In this experiment 4 dialysis tubes filled with unknown starch concentrations were placed into beakers with 10% starch solutions. The bags were weighed every 10 minutes for an hour to measure osmosis. Use the figure to answer the following questions. Which bag(s) was(were) in a hypertonic environment? Select any that apply. Question options: Bag 1 Bag 2 Bag 3 Bag 4

Transcribed Image Text:The graph illustrates the weight change over time for four different bags labeled as Bag 1, Bag 2, Bag 3, and Bag 4. The x-axis represents time in minutes, ranging from 0 to 70, while the y-axis shows the weight change in grams, ranging from -1 to 3.5 grams.
**Bag Data:**
- **Bag 1**: Represented by blue lines with "x" markers, Bag 1 shows a slight increase in weight over time, remaining fairly constant after an initial rise, with changes relatively minimal throughout the 70 minutes.
- **Bag 2**: Indicated by orange dotted lines with asterisk markers, Bag 2 exhibits a slight increase in weight initially, followed by fluctuations around the 0.5-gram mark, with no substantial overall change.
- **Bag 3**: Shown by gray dashed lines with diamond markers, Bag 3 demonstrates a consistent increase in weight, reaching about 3 grams by the end of the 70-minute period.
- **Bag 4**: Displayed with a solid yellow line and circle markers, Bag 4 begins with a slight weight increase but then decreases, reaching approximately -0.5 grams by the 70-minute mark.
This graph visually represents the dynamic changes in weight for each bag over the 70-minute observation period, highlighting different trends such as increase, stability, and decrease in weight among the bags.
