GCSE - Human Physiology and Health An experiment to investigate what affect sucrose solution has on potato tissue. Background Osmosis is the movement of water molecules‚ across a partially permeable membrane from a region of high concentration of water to a low concentration of water molecules. A partially permeable membrane is a membrane with holes in it small enough for only water to go through it. Big molecules like glucose cannot fit through it. Osmosis allows plants to take in water

Outline the roles of membrane at the surface of the cell The plasma membrane encloses the cell‚ defines it boundaries and maintains the essential differences between the cytosol and the extra-cellular environment. The separation of the internal and external environment maintains a constant internal environment which is essential for the cell to function efficiently. Membrane receptors can interact with specific molecules corresponding to stimuli such as hormones to generate a signal cascade which

Report Hypothesis: I predict that as the surface area of the canopy increases‚ the time it takes for the parachute to fall also increases. This is because the air resistance is larger‚ therefore the drag is increased. So the speed of the parachute decreases. This is because the forces (air resistance and gravity) are unbalanced. The change in air resistance is important because the larger the surface area of the canopy‚ the more air particles it is ‘hitting’; therefore the
