Data collection and processing:

Raw Data:
Table 1: Weights of potato pieces Solutions for the potato pieces to be dipped in(M) | Mass of potato pieces in Grams (+/-0.01)(initial mass) | Time when the potato pieces were dipped in the solution in seconds (+/- 0.01) | Time when the potato pieces were taken out of the solution in seconds(+/- 0.01) | Mass of potato after a hour in Grams (+/- 0.01) (final mass) | Water | 2.62 | 0 | 0 | 3.19 | 0.1 | 2.54 | 60 | 180 | 2.99 | 0.2 | 2.44 | 60 | 120 | 2.76 | 0.3 | 2.56 | 12 | 150 | 2.76 | 0.4 | 2.61 | 60 | 138 | 2.67 | 0.5 | 2.83 | 24 | 180 | 2.84 | 0.6 | 2.61 | 42 | 60 | 2.40 |

Qualitative Data:
Sucrose concentrations appeared to be colorless. Osmosis is is the net movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration. Potato is made up of tiny cells and is protected by a cell membrane. Six solutions and water was taken to obtain the results of Osmosis. The potato pieces sank into the solutions. The change in the masses shows that osmosis occurred. Mostly there is a change in the mass of the potato when sank in the solution for about an hour.

Processed data:
Table 2: Difference in the initial and final masses of the potato pieces

    My hypothesis in this experiment was that a Yukon gold potato will naturally absorb more water than a sweet potato due to the effects of osmosis. Osmosis plays a huge role in biology for a multitude of reasons. As defined by Freeman (2012) “The movement of water is a special case of diffusion that is given its own name: osmosis, occurs only when solutions are separated by a membrane that is permeable to some molecules but not others- that is, a selectively permeable membrane.”(P.90). It is also a type of passive transport, as it does not require energy.…

    The purpose of this lab was to observe the rate of osmosis and diffusion, as well as the effect of molecular size of the particles on this rate. Part I of the lab was a demonstration of osmosis and diffusion, that dealt with raisins in different liquid environments, each with a different concentration of sugar. Part IV of the lab was using the same idea as the demonstration, by putting objects in different concentrations of a substance; in this case elodea leaves in salt water. In both cases, the objects in a greater concentration of the substance were stripped of their water. However, where there was a little or no concentration of sugar or salt, the objects did not lose their water, and in the case of the raisin, became saturated with excess…

    Introduction: Osmosis is the diffusion of water from a higher concentration to a lower one through a semi-permeable membrane and occurs in the cells of organisms. It is affected by the addition of solute which would lower the water potential, making water potential and solute concentration inversely related. The concept of osmosis loosely described is that the presence of more solute outside the cell means the presence of less solvent (or water molecules in this case) and vice versa; the goal of osmosis is for the water molecules inside and outside of the cell to be equal, causing equilibrium and a stop to net water movement. The goal for a recent lab was to test whether cubes of potato would gain or lose weight depending on the amount of molar concentration of sucrose they soaked in. Solutions made of different molar concentrations of the solute sucrose were prepared before this lab. Potato cubes were weighed and recorded as the initial mass in the data. Four cubes of potato were placed into 100 mL of each solution and let stand overnight. The cubes were then taken out for the final total mass to be measured and recorded. In this experiment, the potato cubes were the dependent variables, and the molar concentrations were the independent or manipulated variables.…

    We started the lab by cutting the potato core length (44 mm). Each potato core are placed in test tubes. The test tubes have different salt concentration, test tube 1 has 0% salt concentration, test tube 2 has 0.625% salt concentration, test tube 3 has 1.25% salt concentration, test tube 4 has 2.5% salt concentration and test tube 5 has 5% salt concentration. The next day, we remove the potato core from the test tubes and measure their size. In test tube 1 with a 0% salt concentration, the potato core length after is 44 mm, the change in potato core length is 4 mm so the potato is hypertonic to that solution. In test tube 2 with a 0.625% salt concentration, the potato core length after is 42 mm, the change in potato length is 2 mm so the potato is hypertonic to that solution. In test tube 3 with a 1.25% salt concentration, the potato core length after is 39 mm, the change in potato length is -1 mm so the potato is…
