Answer 3

what do you think here
key word here is ' parchment paper '

Answer 4

???????

Answer 7

Alright i just know that parchment paper is cellulose based

Answer 8

and in plant cells we have cellulose cell wall

Answer 9

hmmm i wonder if the this experiment is checking permeability of cellulose cell wall

EXPERIMENT 6

Aim, To determine what takes place when a sugar
solution and water are separated by a permeable mem-
brane, such as pig's bladder or a piece of parchment.

Method. A piece of pig's bladder or parchment is
soaked in water, then tightly stretched over the mouth
of a long-stemmed thistle-funnel and tied on with thin
string. The stem of the thistle-funnel is then held
obliquely while golden syrup or a strong sugar solution
is poured into the funnel until the
bulb is full. If syrup is used it
must be warmed so that it can
flow down the tube easily, but it
must not be made hot enough to
injure the bladder. Syrup is easier
to use than a sugar solution, as
the latter may crystallize out if it
is too strong.

When the bulb is full the thistle-
funnel is fixed in an erect position
by means of a clamp and retort-
stand, and the level of the syrup is
marked with a strip of gummed
paper. The bulb is then suspended
in a beaker of water in such a way
that the level of the water in the
beaker is the same as that of
the solution in the thistle-funnel
(Fig. 4).

Observations. The liquid in the

tube begins to rise and continues so to rise for some
considerable time. Finally a maximum height is
reached; and then the level of the liquid in the tube
gets gradually lower. Meanwhile the water in the
basin gets sweet.

Inferences. The sugar must, in some way, have
attracted the water through the bladder, and this with
so much force that the liquid was able to rise in the
tube against the force of gravity.

i found similar experiment

Answer 11

maybe can help
but i dont seem to even get a good picture of this experiment in my head

Answer 12

Thanks anyways.

Answer 13

Can you help me more anyways?

Answer 14

yeah if i can, i will

Answer 15

@AaronAndyson Can you double check that the description of the setup is is 100% the same in the question you posted when compared to the question as given to you?

Answer 16

In the mean time, the parchment paper is a semi-permeable membrane and sugars are a large molecular that cannot passively move through the membrane.
