particles moved with more speed than the larger particles. B. Potato Core Experiment In this experiment we estimated the osmolarity of potato tuber tissue by submersing different potato cores into sucrose solutions of 0.0-0.6M‚ and weighing the potato. We concluded that the osmolarity of the potato was about 0.4M since the weight of the potato did not change after it was incubated in the solution with 0.4M. We also found that the potato was hypertonic to sucrose solutions of 0.0-0.3M and hypotonic

factors that influence the rates of diffusion. In experiment 5.2 we investigate both animal and plant cells in different molar solutions and the different osmotic behaviors within the cells. In experiment 5.3 we test the osmolarity of plant cells through the usage of potato tuber cells. In experiment 5.1 in order to observe diffusion we examine the Brownian movement by observing carmine on a wet mount slide‚ and by using dialysis tubing‚ we investigate the selective permeability to reducing sugar

I. Research Question What are the effects of different sucrose concentrations on potato stripes which have been submerged in a range of solute sucrose concentrations. II. Background Information Osmosis is one of the four methods of moving particles across membranes along with simple diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ and active transport. Water is able to move in and out of most cells freely. Sometimes the number of water molecules moving in and out is the same and there is no net movement‚ but at

Christine Otieno Estimating Osmolarity of plant Cells(potato and celery)by percentage change in weight Using different sucrose concentrations Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to estimate Osmolality of plants cells i.e. Potato and celery by converting the observed change of weight in different sucrose concentrations. The hypothesis assumes that the solute concentration of the plant samples would be indirectly proportional to the weight; there would be decrease

Osmosis and Water Potential in Potato Tissue Melanie Shadish‚ Rob Harris‚ Patricia Tellekamp Water appears to cross the differentially permeable membrane of potato cells by a process called osmosis. The measure of the energy involved in osmosis is called water potential. Since water must lose energy as it moves by osmosis‚ water must move from

PRODUCT I. INTRODUCTION Potato is a cool-season vegetable that ranks with wheat and rice as one of the most important staple crops in the human diet around the world. The white potato is referred to as the "Irish potato" because it is associated with the potato famine in Ireland in the 19th century. Potatoes are not roots but specialized underground storage stems called "tubers." Maximal tuber formation occurs at soil temperatures between 60° and 70°F. The tubers fail to form when the soil temperature
