    Aim To investigate the effects of increasing salinity on potato cell mass. Background Information This experiment is based upon osmosis. Osmosis can be defined as the net movement of water molecules from a region with high concentration to a region with low concentration. This movement must take place across a partially permeable membrane such as a cell wall‚ which lets smaller molecules such as water through but does not allow bigger molecules to pass through. This process will take place until

    vacuole of a potato cell. We will investigate how the mass of the potato chips change in different sucrose solution concentrations. We will use osmosis to do this. I will be measuring and controlling many different variables‚ these include; - The dependent Variable – Weight of potato chip Independent Variable – Concentration of sucrose Control Variables consist of; - 1. Temperature 2. Surface area of potato 3. Volume of sucrose solution 4. Same time for each potato chip submerged

    Research Project: Potato The potato originated in the South American Andes‚ but its heartland of wild genetic diversity reaches from Venezuela‚ Colombia‚ Ecuador‚ Peru‚ Bolivia‚ Argentina‚ Chile‚ Uruguay‚ Paraguay‚ southern Brazil‚ northward into Central America‚ Mexico‚ and the southwestern United States. Potato was first cultivated between 3 and 7 thousand years ago‚ some scientists believe they may have grown wild in the region as long as 13‚000 years ago. Potato is the third most important

    is the movement of water molecules from high concentration to low concentration through semipermeable membranes‚ caused by the difference in concentrations on the two sides of a membrane (Rbowen‚ L.). It occurs in both animals and plants cells. In human bodies‚ the process of osmosis is primarily found in the kidneys‚ in the glomerulus. In plants‚ osmosis is carried out everywhere within the cells of the plant (World Book‚ 1997). This can be shown by an experiment with potato and glucose/salt solution

    The potato is a starchy‚ tuberous crop from the perennial Solanum tuberosum of the Solanaceae family (also known as the nightshades). The word may refer to the plant itself as well as the edible tuber. In the region of the Andes‚ there are some other closely related cultivated potato species. Potatoes were introduced outside the Andes region four centuries ago‚ and have become an integral part of much of the world’s cuisine. It is the world’s fourth-largest food crop‚ following rice‚ wheat and maize

    I have been asked to investigate the effects of osmosis on potato cell sap. I will test potato cylinders in different strengths of sucrose solution and record any results in a table. I will then analyse my findings and work out the isotonic point of the potato cell sap. Prediction I have looked at my scientific knowledge from the background theory I carried out and I will base my prediction upon this information. In this experiment‚ I expect the different concentrations to show fairly noticeable

    following potential problems or hazards when not properly disposed off. Batteries pollute the lakes and streams as the metals vaporize into the air when burned. They can contribute to heavy metals that potentially may leach from solid waste landfills. They expose the environment and water to lead and acid. They contain strong corrosive acids which cause burns or danger to eyes and skin. In landfills‚ heavy metals have the potential to leach slowly into soil‚ groundwater or surface water. Dry cell batteries

    the osmolarity point of potato cells‚ where it is investigated how osmosis changes the weight of the potato cells‚ measured by the percentage change between the initial and final mass of the potato? Independent Variable: Increasing sucrose concentrations Dependant Variable: Mean percentage change in mass of potato cells All cells have a protective barrier‚ one which selectively allows substances to enter and exit the cell. This is known as a cell membrane. Some cells are semi-permeable‚ which
