... Abstract This experiment will examine properties of a semi-permeable plasma membrane by investigating how different solutions react when placed in a dialysis tube surrounded by another solution. One dialysis tube is filled with starch and placed into a beaker containing iodine, while the second tube is filled with glucose and placed into a beaker of water. In the first tube, the ... send electrical signals to each other cells. Diffusion tells embryonic cells where to move and when to stop (Angeli, 2010).
