small molecules to pass through - the larger the organism‚ the smaller the surface area ratio.Therefore if ratio is too small it take molecules much more longer to enter cell. Prediction For the experiment‚ I expect to see different effects on potato samples depending on different water concentration: · After putting in dilute solution I expect their mass to increase‚ as effect of taking up water by osmosis - cell should become ‘turgid’. · Concentrated glucose solution - mass of potatoes samples

Exercise 1 – Potato Change in Mass versus Sucrose Concentrations Introduction: This exercise involves estimating the osmotic concentration of potato tuber cells by using a change in mass method. The null hypothesis states that there will be no change of mass of the potato disks after they have been incubated in any sucrose solution. This means that the concentration of sucrose that the potatoes are in will no effect the movement of water in or out of the potato cells. However‚ the alternative hypothesis

The effect of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) salt concentration on osmosis in potato cells The movement of substances in plant cells involves many processes and systems‚ all of which may affect the plant bio-chemically and physically‚ and one of these processes is osmosis. Osmosis is the flow of water through a semi-permeable membrane of a cell moving from an area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential until reaching equilibrium known as isotonic. Before reaching the point of being

Doomed Youth’ by Wilfred Owen - a sonnet illustrating the horrors of war‚ and ‘Digging’ by Seamus Heaney that explores the gaps between the aspirations of an individual and the expectations of their heritage. Poetry comes in many forms such as a sonnet‚ ode‚ dramatic monologue‚ etc. and each form and structure can change or enhance the meaning of the text. For example‚ through the construction of the free verse poem ’Digging ’‚ written in 1966 in Ireland as the rural economy started to change‚ the

Osmosis Aim: To determine the concentration of cell sap in a potato cell. Osmosis is the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane. It starts from a weak solution and becomes a more stronger solution until the concentrations on both sides are equal. To investigate the range of solutions needed to find the point at which the surrounding solution is the same as the cell sap in the vacuole.

the same for potato cores placed in varying concentrations of solutes of NaCl‚ glucose‚ and sucrose. This experiment was designed to test these predictions and compare them to data gathered course wide. We found that the mean water potentials were all within 0.26 bars of each other‚ and that the zero weight change osmolalities were all within 0.035 mols of each other. This supported Van’t Hoff’s predictions that water potentials and osmolalities would be the same. We had to collect potato core samples

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

AT1- Osmosis In Potatoes Aim: Investigate the movement of osmosis through a selectively permeable membrane‚ in this case potato. Introduction: Osmosis is the movement of water through a semi permeable membrane‚ separating solutions of different concentrations. The water passes from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration‚ until the two concentrations are equal in concentrations of water. Many cell membranes behave as semi permeable membranes‚ and osmosis

Hypothesis The more hypertonic potato cores are to sucrose solution‚ the more weight potato cores gain. On the other hand‚ potato cores will decrease in weight when it is hypotonic to sucrose solution. Variables: Dependent: The final mass of the potato cores Independent: Concentration of sucrose Controlled: Size of potato‚ time spent in solution‚ amount of solution Method for Collecting Data: We decided to do a range of about 4.84g per piece of potato in each concentration of sucrose
