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.

taken from the theory of osmosis which states that “the passive diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane down a concentration gradient” (Taylor and Bruenn‚ 2009)‚ moving water from a high to a low concentration‚ so in this case water would move from the potato tuber to the sucrose solution reducing the weight of potatoes. Pospíšilová (1970) also states that the water absorption rate of tissue will decrease if

test and get the most accurate results. My prediction is half correct. In some cases it is correct because the concentration is higher and the mass of the potato is lower‚ but in other cases the mass of the potato gets higher‚ which I did not predict. For example‚ on the 1st experiment at 2 and 4 concentrations the mass of the potato goes up and the same happens on the 2nd experiment at the 6% concentration.

Premium Potato Starch
The potato is a starchy‚ tuberous crop from the perennial Solanum tuberosum of the Solanaceae family (also known as the nightshades). The word may refer to the plant itself as well as the edible tuber. In the region of the Andes‚ there are some other closely related cultivated potato species. Potatoes were introduced outside the Andes region four centuries ago‚ and have become an integral part of much of the world’s cuisine. It is the world’s fourth-largest food crop‚ following rice‚ wheat and maize

concentrated area to a low concentrated area. Water is one molecule that can diffuse freely in a cell. Other molecules need assistance through the cell membrane through a process called facilitated diffusion. Osmosis moves from an area of low concentration to high concentration. In osmosis water moves in the opposite way. Water flow is determined by the concentration‚ not the nature of the solute. There are a couple of things to consider for diffusion to work. The size of the cell‚ permeability

Osmosis Abstract The basic principles of Osmosis and Diffusion were tested and examined in this lab. We examined the percent increase of mass and molarity of different concentrations of sucrose in the dialysis bag emerged in distilled water and the potato cores emerged in concentrations of sucrose. The data reinforces the principles of Osmosis and Diffusion‚ and in a biological context‚ we can simulate how water and particles move in and out of our own

| Stage 2 Biology | | Adelaide High School | [Osmosis Practical Report] Abstract: | The purpose of this investigation is to see if the concentration of Sodium chloride (NaCl) solution will affect the mass of the potato cylinder hence the rate of osmosis. This can be done by placing 5‚ identical in length (3cm) but different in weight‚ tubes of potato in 5 different beakers. Each containing an altered NaCl concentration. The concentrations used in this experiment were‚ 0%‚ 2%‚

allows certain molecules or ions to get in or to get out of the cell. There are three types of movement of particals across the cell: diffusion(and also facilitated diffusion)‚ osmosis and active transport. Diffusion and osmosis are passive movements and they don’t require any energy. Active transport requires ATP energy. OSMOSIS is the passive movement of water molecules across a partially permeable (semipermeable) membrane‚ from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration

Research Project: Potato The potato originated in the South American Andes‚ but its heartland of wild genetic diversity reaches from Venezuela‚ Colombia‚ Ecuador‚ Peru‚ Bolivia‚ Argentina‚ Chile‚ Uruguay‚ Paraguay‚ southern Brazil‚ northward into Central America‚ Mexico‚ and the southwestern United States. Potato was first cultivated between 3 and 7 thousand years ago‚ some scientists believe they may have grown wild in the region as long as 13‚000 years ago. Potato is the third most important
