Idea: Sweet Potato (IPOMOEA BATATAS) as Soil Enhancers Chapter 1- Introduction

Background of the Study:

Statement of the problem: The research is generally aimed to determine the effect of sweet potato peelings as soil enhancer.
Specific:
1. Is there a change in NPK (nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus) in the soil after applying 25, 50, and 75 grams of sweet potato after the interval of 3 days? 2. Is there a change in the soil ph in the soil’s color after applying 25, 50, and 75 grams of sweet potato after the interval of 3 days? 3. Is there a change in?
Statement of the hypotheses: Main: Ho: The Sweet Potato has no effect in the soil in any way. Ha: The Sweet Potato will enhance the soil quality.

Specific: 1. Ho: The Sweet Potato has no effect in the soil’s NPK content.
Ha: The Sweet Potato increases the soil’s NPK content. 2. Ho: The Sweet Potato has no effect in the soil’s ph.
Ha: The Sweet Potato increases the soil’s ph level. 3. Ho: The sweet potato has no effect in the soil’s
Ha: The sweet potato increases the soil’s

Significance of the Study: The Study

    The purpose of this experiment is to calculate the mass/change in mass of plant tissue, in our case potato tubers. The change in mass of the potato tuber disk determines the osmotic concentration. After soaking the potato tubers in different concentrations of sucrose, then calculating the percent change in mass, we can determine the osmotic concentration. The…

    Once the potato was cut into a cube shape, it was placed into a container with water. Salt was then added to the excavated part of the potato. The potato was firm and had its natural color in the beginning of the experiment. Within the first hour the water turned light orange/pink in color. The exposed part of the potato also began to change color from its natural beige to light brown. The top part of the potato began to slightly lose its firm shape.…

    Osmosis Lab Response

    As the concentration of a solute in water will, through osmosis, transfer until the concentration is nearly the same both inside the cell, or in this case potato, and outside of the cell, the potato strips both gained and lost mass due to the different concentrations of sugar in water. As expected, the potato strips placed in the concentration of sugar water closest to the concentration of sugar water in a potato had the least amount of change in mass. As the potato strips placed in substance Z and substance A both changed 7%, the concentration of sugar water in a potato must be somewhere in between a concentration of 0.4 and 0.6. One source of error for this lab is that the amount of substance placed into each Dixie cup was not measured and therefore were not consistent. If this lab were repeated, it is suggested that the amount of substance be measured in order to produce more consistent results.…

    Aim To observe and measure the effect of osmosis on the mass of potato using a starch solution. Introduction In order to measure the effect of osmosis, eighteen pieces of potato were cut and placed in six groups, each group of three pieces cut to weigh as close as possible to one another. For each potato group, a test tube was half filled with a starch solution varying in concentration from 0% (water) to 1%. Hypothesis…

    The lowest percent change in mass of one the potatoes were the control (0.0 M), and the one in the 0.1M solution. They presented a weight change of 14.7% and 10.1% respectively, in contrast to the 28.7% and 17.4% weight change in the potatoes in the 0.5 and 0.6M solutions. The hypothesis was supported by the data obtained because it stated that the potatoes’ tubers’ tissue would loose more weight the higher the solute factor in the outside solution. When the potato tubers’ where placed in high-­‐in-­‐solute solutions it dehydrated the the potatoes tissue making it loose weight. The water inside the potato was forced to leave the inside of the tissues cells because of the higher solute…

    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…
