concentration (mole/dm3 (M)) of solute in a potato cell by using the process of osmosis and different concentrations of sucrose solution. Background information Osmosis is diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane. It moves from a solution with less solute concentration (high water potential) to a solution with more solute concentration (low water potential). The one with a high water concentration is called a hypotonic solution and the low water concentration is called hypertonic solution

is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane (Bell et al 2004). Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration (Brown 1999). Hypertonic is the solution with a higher salt concentration. Hypotonic solution is the solution with the lower salt concentration. My hypothesis is that the potato core will increase in size. When the solution is hypertonic‚ the potato will decrease in size making the potato hypotonic. Osmosis

Title: Potato Osmosis Abstract: In this experiment was designed to study the effect of a concentrated solution applied to white and sweet potatoes. The solution’s impact among the potatoes were to be either hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ or isotonic. The potatoes were first cut into fries with a fry cutter‚ and then weighed after being cut. The white and sweet potatoes’ weights ranged from .005-.015 grams. A total of 18 sugar solutions are to be made over the course of 3 trials. In each trial‚ 6 different

B. Yeats‚ 1921 TEACHER ’S INTRODUCTION Between 1845 and 1850‚ more than a million Irish people starved to death while massive quantities of food were being exported from their country. A half million were evicted from their homes during the potato blight‚ and a million and a half emigrated to America‚ Britain and Australia‚ often on-board rotting‚ overcrowded "coffin ships". This is the story of how that immense tragedy came to pass. The necessary historical and political context for a

Observing Osmosis in Potato Cells Planning Purpose: To observe the effect of osmosis on plant cells. Hypothesis: The higher the salt content of the water‚ the lower the mass of the potato. Variables: Independent: the salt percentage of the solution Dependent: the weight of the potato in grams Controlled: the amount of water the length of time between measurements the method of measuring the type of plant cells tested Equipment: (as seen on 2A Human Biology task sheet)

Experiment: Turgor in Potato Tissue 1. We labelled three test tubes A‚ B‚ C‚ D and added initials of people in our group. 2. Used a syringe or graduated pipette to put 20 cm3water in tube A and 10 cm3 in tube B. 3. Put 20 cm3 of 17% solution in tube C and 10 cm3 in tube B; put 20 cm3 pure sucrose solutions in tube D. 4. Working on the dissecting board I cut the ends off large potato. I was careful with the knife and cut it onto the dissecting board away from myself. 5. Used a cork

As a student‚ I want to encourage and help children to reach their full potential. I want students to realize that they are all different‚ and understand that diversity is a good thing. I believe that there are different types of intelligence‚ and creativity is just as important as logic. Teachers’ behavior should reflect values

A piece of Solanum tuberosum (potato) was removed and mixed with distilled water in a blender. The resulting solution was filtered through multiple layers of cheese cloth to filter out the liquid by eliminating any large pieces in the solution. The solution created was catechol. Five different solutions were prepared as blanks with each test tube containing 6.0mL of a different pH (pH 4‚ pH6‚ pH7‚ pH8‚ pH10) of phosphate buffer‚ 1.0mL of the enzyme and 1.0mL of water. Five more solutions were prepared
