Investigation of Factors Affect Osmosis in Potatoes Aim The aim of the following experiment was to investigate the effect of varying the concentration of sucrose solution on osmosis in a potato. Preliminary Experiments One preliminary experiment was done before the main experiment. From the preliminary‚ we were trying to find out how osmosis actually occurred in potatoes‚ and gave us a vague idea on what the main experiment would be like. This preliminary will aid my prediction

Osmosis and Scientific Method Lab Report Abstract The purpose of the lab is to see how different size potatoes have faster water movement depending on the concentration of sucrose it was placed in. We had two sized potatoes‚ 6g and 10g‚ and placed each in three different dilutions of sucrose at 0.5M‚ 0.1M‚ and 0.05M. We also placed a 6g and 10g potato piece in water to act as a control. Based on the weight percent change over 60 minutes‚ the 6g potato piece had faster water movement than the

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)

Osmosis Lab Conclusion The purpose of this lab is to determine whether salt affects the movement of water in the cell. Independent variable is the factor that affects the value of variables dependent to it. In osmosis lab‚ the independent variables are the potato and onions. The dependent variable is the variable whose value is measured to determine the extent of the effect of another variable to it‚ as in an experiment. In osmosis lab‚ the dependent variable is the length of the potato. The controlled

The cells in the solutions of distilled water‚ 0.4% NaCl‚ and 0.9% NaCl would all appear to be inflated and could burst. This is due to the fact that the solution is hypotonic to the potato‚ thus water is entering the cell. Meanwhile‚ the cells in the solutions

was to demonstrate osmosis. Osmosis 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

at which point the potato has reached its isotonic environment. From the results‚ when the concentration increase to 0.3M‚ the mass of the potato slices decreased by -3.26%. We can conclude we see that as we increased the sucrose concentration it was a decrease in the percent change. Introduction All cells have membranes that are selectively permeable. In other words‚ they allow certain things in and certain substances are not allowed to enter the inside of the cell. Osmosis is the process of
