Using Sucrose Solutions to Determine Osmolarity of Potato Tubers Based on Weight By Thomas Pelikan Biology 200A Section 004 Kimberly Schmidt October 2‚ 2012 Abstract: In this experiment we were trying to determine the osmolarity of potato tubers by weighing them before and after incubating them in solutions of sucrose with varying molarities. To find the osmolarity we took a potato and used a cork borer to obtain seven samples of potato tubers. We then prepared seven beakers with concentrations

Potato Lab Background information: A hypertonic solution is a concentration that is higher than the solution. A Hypotonic solution is a concentration that is lower than the solution. An isotonic solution is a concentration and solution that is the same amount. Hypothesis question: What will happen if you put a potato in hypertonic solution? What will happen if you put a potato in hypotonic solution? What will happen if you put a potato in isotonic solution? Hypothesis statement: If you

The Irish Potato Famine was a great famine that took place in Ireland between 1845 and 1852. The famine was caused by a potato disease‚ also called a potato blight. This was a huge problem especially considering that much of Ireland’s population was heavily reliant on potato crops. The famine itself killed around one million people. The question of genocide comes in when the British are taken into account. Ireland was dependent to Britain‚ much like how today countries like Puerto Rico are dependent
