change in weight of potato tubers‚ this was conducted in order to explore the process of diffusion and osmosis and more importantly to investigate the question of “Does different concentrations of sucrose solutions have an effect on the final weight for the potato tubers?” In this experiment we estimated the osmolarity of potato tuber cores by submersing different potato cores into sucrose solutions of 0.0-0.6M‚ and weighing the potato. The results showed the weight of the potato tubers had the highest

Hypothesis: If the potato is acidic‚ it will react with the H2O2 more than it will with the raw‚ plain potato because the acid will denature the enzyme faster. The manipulated/independent variable is the raw‚ plain potato while the responding/dependent variable is the other types of potatoes used in the experiment.

salinity of solutions has on the process of osmosis and net weight gain/ loss by potato cells. This would be done by using similar size potato cubes and covering them with different concentrations of saline solutions (0.5% and 2.0%) in beakers then measuring the change in weight of the potato cubes. If the salinity of the solution is high then the weight of the potato cubes will decrease. Materials • 9 X 2cm2 potato cubes • 3 X

duration of 24 hours in varying concentration levels (2%‚ 5%‚ 10%‚ 20% and 25%) of sodium chloride (table salt)? HYPOTHESIS Solanum tuberosum L. final masses will decline as the concentration (2%‚ 5%‚ 10%‚ 20% and 25%) of sodium chloride increases. Potato slices placed in distilled water will have higher mass percentage due to the cells becoming turgid. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a hypertonic (high concentration solute) to the hypotonic (low concentration

commonly known as pill bugs and potato bugs. The objective of this experiment is to determine which kinds of habitats potato bugs favor. Potato bugs have an innate behavior called taxis which will cause the animal to move away from a stimulus that is unwanted and towards a stimulus that is favored. Different stimuli which can cause taxis to occur are light‚ sound‚ moisture‚ heat‚ or chemicals. To narrow the possibilities‚ this specific trial will test whether potato bugs favor fresh water environments

molecules are randomly distributed throughout an object‚ with all areas having an equal concentration.For this particular investigation I think that the lower the concentration of the salt solution in the test tube‚ the larger the increase in mass of the potato chip will be. This is because the water molecules pass from a high concentration. Therefore‚ I believe that the chips that are in the tubes containing a higher concentration of water than salt will have a larger mass than chips in tubes with higher

gradient. Hypothesis: Will a high concentration of salt solution affect the mass of a potato chip? Variables Controlled variables: -The sizes of the potato chips. Bigger size of potato chips will weigh heavier and the smaller potato chips will weigh lighter‚ if we don’t use the same size of potato chips throughout the experiment‚ we won’t get an ideal result‚ there will be great differences between the mass of potato chips. -The duration of experiment. The duration of the experiment must be the same

Potato Lab Report: Effects of Sucrose Solutions on Potato Cells and Water Potential Abstract: Osmosis is a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one‚ thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane. In this experiment‚ we learn about Osmosis and Diffusion through potato cores in different concentration of sucrose

weight change in potato cubes 2) To determine the isotonic solution concentration for the potato Hypothesis: 1) If the concentration of the salt solution is higher than the concentration in the potato cubes‚ the percentage of weight change in potato cubes will be higher (positive). If the concentration of the salt solution is the same as the concentration in the cell‚ there will be no net movement of water through osmosis therefore there will be no percentage of weight change in potato cubes 2) The

Factors affecting the movement of water through osmosis Introduction In this I will be investigating what effects the movement of water through osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water. It is the process in which fluids pass through a partially-permeable membrane. It is the movement of water from high water concentration to low water concentration. Plant cells react to osmosis by hypertonic‚ isotonic and hypotonic. Keywords Hypertonic – is when the water outside of the cell is lower than
