Aim The aim is to find the concentration (mole/dm3 (M)) of solute in a potato cell by using the process of osmosis and different concentrations of sucrose solution. Background information Osmosis is diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane. It moves from a solution with less solute concentration (high water potential) to a solution with more solute concentration (low water potential). The one with a high water concentration is called a hypotonic solution and the low water concentration

The purpose of this experiment is to study how enzyme activity is affected by environmental conditions. Researchers tested the level of potato extract enzyme activity with 1-11 pH‚ varying temperature‚ catechol solution‚ hydroquinone solution‚ and different measurements of catechol. In Figure 1A and 1B‚ pH levels were tested with potato extract to see how pH would affect the amount of Benzoquinone is formed in the potato. Although it was hypothesized that enzymes would form Benzoquinone better in

INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The industry refers to “any general business activity or commercial enterprise” (business dictionary). An industry is understood to be recognized as any groups or firms that produce a product and service for people in fulfilling their needs‚ demands and requirements. The term soft science industry is frequently used to refer to a firm involving business activity that is focused solely on soft skills that deal with the study of human and societies in the

When the Irish Potato Famine Struck Ireland On a sunny morning in 1845‚ Irish farmers were going to check their crops. A farmer named Abraham Fitz found black potatoes in his fields. He thought it may be only the one‚ so he moved over 4 rows and dug another potato out of the ground. This one was black and rotten. This causes Abraham to travel to his neighbors house and ask about their potatoes. His neighbor’s potatoes were black‚ rotten‚ and giving off a foul stench. This would later be discovered

Potato Chip Monopoly ECO204: Principles of Microeconomics Instructor: A monopoly is an industry composed of only one firm that produces a product for which there are no close substitutions and in which significant barriers exist to prevent new firms from entering into the industry (Case‚ 2009). In a different definition‚ it can be distinguished by a lack of financially viable competition to produce the goods or services as well as to substitute goods. Monopolies often refer to a procedure

cell‚ so the water molecules diffused out of the cell through the selectively permeable membrane. The higher the concentration‚ the more plasmolysed the cell becomes and my results show this. The 0M bathing solutions in both experiments caused the potato cells to become slightly turgid‚ this means that there was a higher concentration of solution on the inside of the cell. So the water molecules diffused into the cell through the selectively permeable membrane. The rate of water loss decreases as
