    concentrations on the activity of osmosis in plant tissue. Background scientific theory: Plants exchange gases (CO2 and O2) in maintaining vital respiratory processes and in carrying out photosynthesis; they absorb certain minerals and sugars so to use as a source of energy and eradicate wastes in order to maintain specific requirements for survival. Large amounts of water are absorbed by root hairs and are then distributed across the cells of plants by the process of osmosis; water being essential to

    Diffusion and Osmosis Introduction Tonicity refers to the concentration of solutes in a solution (Lab 6-7). There are three stages of tonicity: Isotonic‚ hypertonic and hypotonic. Four unknown solutions were given and labeled as followed: Solution A‚ Solution B‚ Solution C‚ and Solution D. Since potato cells were used for this type of experiment‚ in an Isotonic solution the solute and water concentration are the same as inside the cell in which the isotonic solution contains 0.9% NaCl. In other

    OSMOSIS IN POTATO TISSUES Vanessa Tsao‚ Lovette To‚ Wang Yeyun‚ Zhang Shenjia‚ Alicia Mak Class 101‚ Nanyang Girls’ High School‚ 2 Linden Drive‚ Singapore 288683 ABSTRACT In this project‚ the relationship between the concentration of salt solution and the length of the potato strip that was immersed in it was investigated. Five strips of potato of the same length were placed in different Petri dishes that contained water of different salt concentration. They were left for twenty minutes and the length

    purpose of the lab was to investigate osmosis‚ which was successfully achieved because there was a change in the potato’s mass which was due to the net movement of water either into the potato cells or out of the potato cells. In the 0.400M solution‚ the potato decreased in mass‚ this was due to the reason that the solution was hypertonic. There was a higher concentration of solute and lower concentration of water in the solution than there was in the potato cells. This led the water to travel down

    GCSE Biology: Osmosis in a Potato Aim To investigate the effect of placing a piece of potato in a given strength of sugar solution. Prediction I predict that‚ as the solution becomes more concentrated the more the cell will shrink‚ as the water‚ of higher concentration inside the potato cells‚ flows down a concentration gradient into the solution‚ which has a lower concentration of water molecules. If we say that the percentage change when the potato is placed in the 1M solution is x%. I predict

    Analysis The trend that my graph and results show is that when the potato was placed in a solution that had a higher concentration than the chip itself‚ the potato lost weight (0.4‚ 0.6‚ 0.8 and 1.0 molars). In the same way when the potato chip was placed in a solution that had a lower concentration than itself‚ the potato chip gained weight (0.0 and 0.2 molars). For my results I calculated the percentage gain/loss in weight using the following formulae: Average change in weight/weight at

    or volume of the plant cells does not change‚ means there is no net loss or gain of water. Introduction This study shares the results of an effort to understand diffusion and osmosis in general. It focused more into osmosis in plants cell‚ and how to indirectly measure osmolarity in potato tuber tissue. Osmosis is the diffusion specifically of water across a membrane. Diffusion occurs when certain substance‚ such as an ion‚ is more concentrated on one side of membrane. If the membrane allows

    If the pH level of the solution is more basic‚ then the potato membrane will weigh less due to osmosis. Our null hypothesis was: If the pH level of a solution is either acidic or basic‚ then it will have no effect on the weight. The independent variable was the different solutions of different pH values. The dependent variable was the weight of the potato‚ which was measured in grams. The baseline of this experiment is the weight of the potato when in the milk solution because milk has a neutral pH
