    Martina Oganesyan Title of investigation: The effect of solute concentration on osmosis in potatoes. Research question: What is the solute concentration of a potato? Hypothesis: Osmosis is the movement of water across the membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The osmosis continues until the solute concentrations are equal in both areas. In this experiment‚ we put pieces of potatoes into test tubes with sugar solutions of different concentrations and leave

    Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration‚ in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.[1][2][3] It may also be used to describe a physical process in which any solvent moves‚ without input of energy‚[4] across a semipermeable membrane (permeable to the solvent‚ but not the solute) separating two solutions of different concentrations.[5] Although osmosis does

    The Effect of Concentration Gradient on Osmosis Abstract: Osmosis is the passive movement of water from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration‚ usually across a membrane (Thorpe 2013). Tonicity is the ability of a solution surrounding a cell to gain or lose water (Reece 2011). There are many factors that affect the rate of osmosis. These include temperature‚ surface area‚ difference in water potential‚ pressure‚ light and dark and most importantly what we will be talking

    Investigate osmosis between potato tissue and sugar solutions. Aim: To investigate the effect of varying concentration of a certain sugar solution on the amount of osmotic activity between the solution and a potato core of a given size 10mm Hypothesis: Osmosis is defined as the net movement of water or any other solutions molecules from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a region in which they are less concentrated. This movement must take place across a partially permeable

    Investigation of the Stroop effect Anonymous The current study focused on the Stroop effect‚ which is the observation that it takes longer to name the colour of the ink in which a word is printed if the word spells a different colour than it does to identify a block of colour‚ It involves the use of automatic and controlled processes. The Stroop effect was tested on participants who were part of a repeated measures groups design‚ there were two males and two females aged

    concentrations of 0.0 mol dm3‚ 0.2 mol dm3‚ 0.4 mol dm3‚ 0.6 mol dm3 and 0.8 mol dm3 affect the osmolarity point of potato cells‚ where it is investigated how osmosis changes the weight of the potato cells‚ measured by the percentage change between the initial and final mass of the potato? Independent Variable: Increasing sucrose concentrations Dependant Variable: Mean percentage change in mass of potato cells All cells have a protective barrier‚ one which selectively allows substances to enter and exit

    VII. Conclusion The hypothesis that if a potato is placed in a tube with different sucrose concentrations then the tube with the lowest concentration of sucrose will expand the potato the most because the water will move into the potato to even out the concentration levels of the sucrose/ water ratio inside and outside of the potato was supported by the data. The data shows that the potato submerged in the lowest concentration of the sucrose water solution had the greatest percent change in mass
