This process is a technique of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of solvent particles. For example, water along its concentration gradient, from high to low concentration, via a semi-permeable membrane is changing the structure of the molecules in the potato strips.
Since the environment of the potato strips are in a sugar concentrate, the potato will lose its water content and so loses weight and the strips will be thinner and dryer.
All the populations living and interacting within a particular geographic area make up a biological (or biotic) community. The living organisms in a community together with their nonliving or abiotic environment make up an ecosystem.
Typhoons tend to pass east to west across the Philippine archipelago. Affecting mostly the northern most group of islands (Leyte to Luzon)
