    Effect of Sucrose Solution on Osmosis Aim: The aim of the experiment is to show how varying the concentration of sucrose solution affects osmosis by changing different molar solutions of sucrose and water and how it affects the potato. Introduction: In this investigation I will be exploring the effect of varying concentration of sucrose sugar solution on the amount of activity between the solution and the potatoes. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially

    Plan a procedure that will allow you to compare quantitavely the glucose concentration in fresh samples of orange‚ lemon and grapefruit juice. Aim: The aim of this investigation is to produce a set of data which will enable comparison of the glucose concentrations of orange‚ lemon and grapefruit juice. Research: Benedict’s Reagent is a mixture of sodium compounds and copper sulphate. The copper ions are reduced by fructose (a reducing sugar) to form copper oxide‚ thus turning it from blue

    VII. Conclusion The hypothesis that if a potato is placed in a tube with different sucrose concentrations then the tube with the lowest concentration of sucrose will expand the potato the most because the water will move into the potato to even out the concentration levels of the sucrose/ water ratio inside and outside of the potato was supported by the data. The data shows that the potato submerged in the lowest concentration of the sucrose water solution had the greatest percent change in mass

    Potatoes The initial weights of the potato cubes ranged from 0.93-1.04 grams from the solutions containing AgNO3 (Table 1). Graph one depicts the correlation of percent change in weight for each sucrose concentration with AgNO3 added. The initial length of the potato cylinders were 2cm as depicted in table two. Graph two depicts the correlation of percent change in length in different sucrose concentrations. The initial weights for the solutions lacking AgNO3 ranged from 1.0-1.7grams (Table 3)

    Osmosis in Potato Tubers Andrew Dickson Background When a plant cell is bathed in a solution of the same concentration (isotonic) as its intracellular environment‚ its mass and volume remain the same. This is because water enters and leaves the cells at the same rate. There is no net loss or gain of water by osmosis. Samples of cells can be placed in a range of solutions of different concentration. The cells will gain water by osmosis when placed in solutions which are more dilute (hypotonic)

    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? The input variable of this experiment (i.e. the

    POTATO INTO 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 used a galvanized nail for our Zinc electrode. c. Result It did go well and the potato did give voltage to the equipment (clock) However‚ the

    Osmosis using potato cores and sucrose solution 1.0 Abstract This experiment’s ultimate goal is to find the water potential of the potato cell. This was achieved through placing potato cores in different concentrations of sucrose (0.2%‚ 0.4%‚ 0.6%‚ 0.8%‚ 1.0%‚ 2.0%‚ 3.0% and 4.0%) solution and to observe how much water was gained or lost through osmosis to reach a prediction of the concentration within the potato cell. The results displayed that the concentration of sucrose within the potato cell is

    Osmosis was clearly shown since the potato cylinders decreased or increased at different concentrations of sucrose. The results supported my hypothesis because for the 0.0 sucrose concentration the average percent change in mass was 16.9%. For the 0.2 concentration the percent change was 3.59%. For the 0.4 concentration the percent change was -15.3%. For the

    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
