Ben Zaré 9MK Biology Investigation - Osmosis in Potato Cells 9/7/04 Section 1 Planning Aim What is the aim of your experiment? What do you want to find out? The aim of this experiment is to investigate how potato tissue changes when placed in sucrose solution of different concentrations. Therefore‚ I want to find out if and how osmosis differs‚ when the concentration is changed. Variables What is the variable you are going to change in the experiment?

POTATO BATTERY Abstract a. Purpose To lessen the consume of electric charge b. Procedure We insert copper and zinc electrodes in to the potato‚ close but not touching each other. We use Clip leads to connect our electrodes to the Multimeter to measure voltage between two electrodes or current passing through the multimeter. For this experiment we removed the shell of a broken AA battery for our Zinc electrode. (Make sure to test your multimeter by connecting its Positive and Negative

Preliminary Experiment Pages 8 - 14: Main Experiment Introduction In this experiment I am going to investigate the effect of varying concentration of a differing glucose solution on the amount of osmotic activity‚ between the solution and a potato tuber of a given size. The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate how living cells rely on osmosis‚ the diffusion of water. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules (H20) from

those in the province‚ the researcher came up with the study entitled “Potato Battery”. Two new sources are fruits and vegetables. These are organic and can easily be bought at farms and markets. One of these is the use of potato but not all fruits and vegetables are usable. Potato had been considered due to it’s high content of phosphoric acid. B. Statement of the problem This study basically aims to find out whether a potato could be able to produce enough power to light up a bulb. And if it

In this report‚ the concentration of total protein and albumin were calculated with the interpretation of a standard curve. To determine the concentration of total protein in human serum‚ a total protein assay was performed by using the Biuret reagent. Proteins react to this compound because it contains two amide bonds. When the Biuret reagents is introduced to a sample of protein‚ it forms a blue or violet complex. The concentration of albumin in human serum is determined by using the Bromocresol

of a Potato Mishal Hasan Abstract Students in Biology find it difficult to understand the concept of tonicity and osmolarity in a real time situation. In this investigation‚ several concentrations of sucrose were used to determine the osmolarity of a potato. It was found that the concentration of sucrose was close to 3.6 in the potato used showing that it was isotonic. Anything above caused the potato to gain weight showing that it was a hypotonic solution and anything below caused the potato to lose

region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. This happens because of random molecular motion. Molecules move around randomly until there is an even mixture throughout cell and mixture. The overall effect is that molecules move down a concentration gradient from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration which is passive transport. Osmosis is the movement of molecules down a concentration gradient and at the same time

diffusion I will be using potato discs‚ of the same size and mass‚ in different concentrations of sugar solution to find out whether the mass of the discs increases or decreases depending on the concentration. I predict that when the sugar solution is 0% the mass will increase as there is less sugar in the water than in the potato. The water will then travel through a partly permeable membrane into the potato from outside. When the sugar solution is 20% the mass of the potato will decrease as there

do: We will put potato pieces of similar sizes in to test tubes of different concentrations of sucrose solution‚ and measure any changes in mass and length. Affecting Factors: There are a number of factors which can affect our results. We need to keep them all the same‚ and make sure that the only thing that changes is the concentration of the sucrose solution. These factors include: • Starting length of potato • Volume of Sucrose solution • Temperature of potato • Temperature
