    Sophie Murdock Osmosis Lab Osmosis in Plant Cells: Solution Initial Volume (mL) Final Volume (mL) Percent Change Distilled Water 0.8 1.0 125% 0.4% NaCl 0.5 0.8 160% 0.9% NaCl 0.6 0.8 133% 5% NaCl 0.6 0.5 83% 10% NaCl 0.6 0.5 83% 8. The cells in the solutions of distilled water‚ 0.4% NaCl‚ and 0.9% NaCl would all appear to be inflated and could burst. This is due to the fact that the solution is hypotonic to the potato‚ thus water is entering the cell. Meanwhile‚ the cells in the solutions

    Potato Osmosis Introduction: A shipwrecked sailor is stranded on a small desert island with no fresh water to drink. They know they could last without food for up to a month‚ but if they didn’t have water to drink they will be dead within a week. Hoping to postpone the inevitable‚ their thirst drives them to drink the salty seawater. They are dead in two days. Why do you think drinking seawater killed the sailor faster than not drinking any water at all? Today we explore the cause of the sailor’s

    The effect of salt concentration on osmosis in potato. Introduction: 1. The purpose of doing this lab is to observe the effects of various solute concentrations on osmosis in a potato. 2. During osmosis‚ water moves from the side of the membrane where they are most concentrated to the side where they are less concentrated. If the concentration is equal on both sides‚ there will be no movement. 3. I hypothesize that the mass of the potato will decrease as the salt in the solution

    DETERMINATION OF THE WATER POTENTIAL OF POTATO TUBER CELLS. Method. Five sucrose solutions with varying molarity and one control containing distilled water were prepared and poured into test tubes. The potato discs were dried‚ weighed and added to the test tubes. The discs were then weighed again after a period of 24 hours. The percentage change in mass was then calculated. Apparatus.  Specimen tubes with stoppers x6  1cm3 diameter cork borer  razor

    The Effect of Salt Concentration on Osmosis in Potato Cells We should first explain what Osmosis is. It’s a passage of water from a region of high water concentration through membrane to a region of low water. Semi membrane is a very thin layer of material‚ which allows some things to pass through them but prevent other things from passing through. The cells allow small molecules like Oxygen‚ water‚ Carbon Dioxide‚ Ammonia. But will not allow larger molecules like Sucrose‚ Starch‚ or protein‚ etc
