1. What is osmosis? 2. Celery is composed of millions of plant cells. Do these cells contain any water?

3. Did the cut celery in step 8 & 9 show any color change that would indicate that the water did enter the celery cells?

4. If you placed the celery into a bottle of colored water that was 35% sugar, would the colored water be seen in the celery? Why or why not? (HINT: Drawing a diagram of this scenario may help – 35% sugar is a very concentrated solution…)

haploid cells;

the solute can move "downhill," from regions of higher to lower concentration, relying on the specificity of the protein carrier to pass through the membrane. this process is called passive transport or facilitated diffusion, and does not require energy.

the statements that apply here about binary star system are

"have stars that might appear to wobble"

"often have one star that is brighter than other"

a binary star is a star system consisting of two stars revolving around their common barycenter. systems of two or more stars are called multiple star systems.
