1ai)
Experiment to demonstrate osmosis in a living tissue(Yam tuber)
1aii)
A-The volume of the sugar solution in the yam tuber increases
B-The volume of water in the yam tuber remains unchanged
1aiii)
It serves as the semi-permeable membrane
1aiv)
Set up B serves as the control experiment

I – Will not germinate
J – will germinate
K – will not germinate
3aii)
I – water or moisture is absent
J – Water is present as a factor for germination
