In an investigation of osmosis, apple cores were submerged in different molarity solutions to determine the unknown osmolarity of the apple. To determine the molarity five uniform apple cores were massed before submerging them in different molarity solutions. After 24 hours the apple cores were massed again. Then the percent change in mass was determined for the five uniform apple cores in each molarity solution. Molarity of Solution Average % Change of Mass of Apple Cores 0.0 M 21.5 0.2 M 8.0 0.4 M -7.4 0.6 M -19.2 0.8 M -22.7 1.0 M -36.3 (b) Identify the osmolarity of the apple.

One of the symptoms of diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes ) is extreme thirst . What brings about this feeling of thirst? Explain in terms of osmosis.
difference between channels and transporters is that O Only channels allow for the passage of solutes against their electrochemical gradient. OTransporters allow for a greater rate of transport across a membrane than channels do. O Only channels allow for the transport of ions. Transporters must undergo a conformational change upon binding to the solute.
