Question: investigate the water potential of potato tissue? Introduction All cells require essential materials to ensure their survival. Chemical‚ physical‚ and biological processes are used to move these materials inside of cells. Similar processes move waste materials outside of cells. These processes can be passive‚ occurring as a result of basic physical laws and requiring no outside energy from the cell or they can be active‚ requiring energy expenditure. Since all molecules possess kinetic

Investigation into finding out the Effect of the effect of osmosis In potato cells Introduction I am doing an experiment to find out the effect that osmosis has on Water solution and a Sugar solution. Osmosis is a process which water moves from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. I am going to record my results to see if osmosis occurs in water solution of sugar solution. Apparatus In this experiment I would need; - 1) 3 test tube 2)

of osmosis of tap water of Solanum tuberosum L. Solanum tuberosum L.‚ also known as potato‚ was the selected plant to be tested because it was easy to measure the percentage change in mass due to the osmosis of water into the tissue. RESEARCH QUESTION How does the surface area to volume ratio of potato tissue (Solanum tuberosum L.) affect the rate of osmosis of tap water? HYPOTHESIS The smallest cube of potato (1x1x1)‚ having a higher surface area to volume ratio‚ will have the fastest rate of
