Biology GCSE Coursework: Osmosis in Potato Chips
Skill Area P: Planning
Aim: To investigate the effect of varying concentration of a certain sugar solution on...
in plants.
I am planning an experiment to investigate the effect osmosis has on potato chips that are placed in different concentrations of sucrose solutions and...
temp as this will then be fair.
Analysis:
I have discovered that as I predicted some of the potato chips lost weight and some gained weight. The predictions...

Aim
To investigate the effect of placing a piece of potato in a given strength of sugar solution.
Prediction
I predict that, as...

Conclusion
The data we had did not support the definition of Osmosis, Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a partially...
the mass of the potato in grams and the potato chip will be measured before it is put in the solution, and after. This will allow us to see whether osmosis has taken...

water molecules move by osmosis from the potato into the highly concentrated solution. This means that the mass of the potato tuber will decrease, and its appearance...
as temperature increases or decreases, the rate of osmosis should also increase or decrease in relative, causing the potato chips to lose/gain mass at a faster...
