Exploration How do increasing sucrose 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

Diffusion continues until it reaches equilibrium. Osmosis is similar to Diffusion but it’s the process in which water moves across a semi-permeable membrane and goes to the higher concentration of solute.1 2.2. Important factors to Osmosis and Diffusion include Temperature‚ Concentration and Surface area to volume ratio. Temperature can affect the rate in which a solute dissolves in a solution‚ higher temperature faster rate of Osmosis. This is caused by the molecules movements being faster

different sucrose concentrations (0.15‚ 0.20‚ 0.25‚ 0.30‚ 0.35 and 0.50). It was expected that the potatoes would lose weight as the potatoes would have lower water potential when placed in a solution ‚ and in this can be 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

How does the relationship between salt concentration effect osmosis in the aquatic plant Elodea? Quantitative data From observing the cells under a microscope‚ we see that they are continuously moving and therefore are alive. We have observed that when the cells are in the 10% sodium chloride‚ the chloroplasts are positioned to the sides of the cell wall and the cytoplasm is more expanded. Cells in the distilled water are slightly smaller than the cells in the sodium chloride solution and

The effects of osmosis on potatoes placed in different salt concentration Introduction: Osmosis is a movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane. This may only happen when there is a difference in concentration between the two sides of the membrane. The water moves from low concentrations to high concentrations. That is because the low concentrated area tries to dilute the opposite via osmosis. The effects osmosis has on a cell are either that it becomes turgid and hard as water enters

Introduction The movement of molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area of less concentration is called Diffusion. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane from an area with greater concentration of water to an area with less concentration. A Hypertonic Solution is a solution of a higher concentration of solutes and a smaller concentration of water molecules than another solution. However‚ an Isotonic Solution is a solution that contains an equal

Osmosis in Plants Outline: To investigate the effect of varying concentration of a certain sugar solution on the amount of osmotic activity between the solution and a potato chip of a given size. Definition - Osmosis: Movement of a solvent (liquid) through a semi-permeable membrane separating solutions of different concentrations. The solvent passes from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution until the two concentrations are equal. All
