I am going to investigate osmosis when potato is placed in different concentrations of sucrose. I am aiming to witness osmosis in 5 different concentrations of sucrose. I will use 5 varying concentrations so that I have a wider spread to compare the results‚ and check that I don’t have any anomalies Prediction Osmosis is the process of diffusion of water molecules from a weaker solution into a stronger solution‚ through a semi permeable membrane. The tiny pores in the membrane

had the overall impact in this excitement a little on osmosis. Osmosis takes place when two solutions of different concentrations are separated by a semi-permeable membrane in which the solvent can pass through but not the solute. In our experiment‚ we used a sucrose solution that will be a hypotonic concentration of solute. This tells us that the solution has a lower concentration of water than does the cells. Therefore‚ due to osmosis‚ the cells will gain water weight also proven in the experiment

deformation is directly proportional to the deforming force provided that its yield strength is not exceeded. Under these conditions the object returns to its original size and shape upon removal of the deforming force. It is therefore expected that the cylinder underwent no permanent deformation during this experiment. Strain rosette measurements were taken from the graph a s pressure of 25Mpa to calculate the angle from the principal axis. At 25mPa grid one (1) gave value of ‚ grid two (2) and grid

Cylinder choke is an unconstricted barrel and the shot pattern spreads quickly. Improved Cylinder choke has a slight constriction. It allows the shot pattern to spread fairly quickly. Modified choke has moderate constriction. The shot stays together longer‚ making the pattern denser and more useful at longer ranges. This choke is used often for dove hunting and is the preferred choke when using steel shot to hunt for ducks or geese. This is because laws require waterfowl hunters to use steel shot

An Investigation Into The Effect Of PH On The Activity Of Potato Tissue Catalase Aim The aim of my investigation is to see how pH affects the activity of potato tissue catalase‚ during the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to produce water and oxygen. Catalase + 2H2O2 Catalase + 2H2O +O2 Catalase + Hydrogen Peroxide Catalase + Water + Oxygen Independent Variable The independent variable in this investigation is pH. Each individual enzyme has it’s own pH characteristic

Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across a semi permeable membrane. An osmotic system is established when a semi-permeable membrane is placed between two solutions. In this biological systems context‚ osmosis is the exchange of water between the potato cell and the surrounding medium of varying sucrose concentrated solutions‚ with the plasma membrane being the semi- permeable membrane. Because water molecules have kinetic energy‚ they

potential Aim of the experiment: Finding the water potential of potato. Biological principles: Independent variable: concentration of the solution. Dependent variable: percentage changed in weight of the potato strips. Controlled variable: size of the potato strips‚ it can be controlled by cutting the length of the strips. Procedure: Table 1. Concentration of sucrose solution table Concentration/ M | Sucrose Solution/ ml | Distilled Water/ ml | 0 (Water) | 0 | 10

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 10g. This confirms out hypothesis that smaller potato pieces will have a faster rate of water movement.

Osmosis in Potato Conclusion The data we had did not support the definition of Osmosis‚ Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a partially permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration; the data we collected did not seem to fit into this. The potato chips were suppose to lose more mass in the higher concentrated solution as the water from the potato chip will flow out to the higher concentrated solution as the water inside the potato has a
