    Bea E
    This document summarizes a student's lab report on membrane transport. The student conducted experiments on diffusion, osmosis, and their relationship to molecular properties and environmental conditions. Key findings include: 1) Smaller molecules and higher temperatures increase the rate of diffusion. 2) The rate of osmosis increases with a higher concentration gradient across the membrane. 3) Cellulose sacs and cell membranes allow diffusion of some substances but not others depending on molecular size.
