Concentration of a Potato Aim: In this investigation I am going to work out the sugar concentration of a potato. I aim to find this out by putting potato cores into various concentrations‚ measuring the mass before and after. Due to osmosis the potato cores will change in mass to make the concentrations at an isotonic level‚ helping us to work out the mass of the potato. I predict that potato in the weaker solutions will gain mass‚ because some water will be absorbed by the potato to make the concentrations

OSMOSIS Aim To determine the water potential of potato tuber cells. Background knowledge Osmosis is defined as the movement of water molecules from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential through a partially permeable membrane. Osmosis is considered in terms of water potential and solute potential. Water potential is a measure of the kinetic energy of water molecules. Here‚ water molecules are constantly moving in a random fashion. Some of them collides with cell

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

investigate about enzymes in potatoes reacting with Hydrogen Peroxide. In particular I will investigate the effects of changing the surface area of a potato when added to Hydrogen Peroxide. This is because‚ when increasing the surface area of the potatoes it will increase the rate of reaction because there will be more surface area on which particles from the potato and the Hydrogen Peroxide will collide on‚ and with more surface area there would be more particles carrying kinetic energy‚ and by carrying

Solution for Chapter 2 Exercise 5a 5. a. Draw the hierarchy chart and then plan the logic for a program for the sales manager of The Couch Potato Furniture Company. The manager needs a program to determine the profit on any item sold. Input includes the wholesale price and retail price for an item. The output is the item’s profit‚ which is the retail price minus the wholesale price. Use three modules. The main program declares global variables and calls housekeeping‚ detail‚ and end-of-job

An investigation to compare the reaction rates between potato and hydrogen peroxide against liver and hydrogen peroxide through loss in mass. Background information: Catalase is an enzyme that is found in all cells. This means that it is an intracellular enzyme. And enzyme is a biological catalyst. A catalyst is some thing that speeds up a reaction without being changed itself. Because of this enzymes and catalysts can be used again and again. Enzymes are protein chains that have a primary‚ secondary

TITLE: EFFECT OF DEEP FAT FRYING ON OIL QUALITY AND SENSORY ATTRIBUTES OF POTATO CHIPS/ CHICKEN NUGGETS ABSTRACT: RBD Palm olein oil is a type of vegetable oils with the ratio of saturation to unsaturation 40%: 60%. Soybean oil is another type of vegetable oils with the ratio of saturation to unsaturation 20%: 80%. In addition to the chemical alterations that occur during frying‚ changes in the oil’s physical and thermal properties‚ such as surface tension‚ viscosity‚ density‚ specific

Concentration ·Enzyme Concentration The factor I am changing is surface area of potato containing Catalase. By increasing the surface area of the potato‚ you make more Catalase molecules be exposed to hydrogen peroxide. This will result in the rate of reaction increasing because it increases the chance of more successful collisions between the enzyme and the substrate. Catalase is an enzyme found in food such as‚ potato. It is used to break down a poisonous by-product of metabolism called hydrogen

Experiment to Investigate Osmosis in Potatoes The aim of this experiment is to investigate the movement of water in and out of plant cells. The cells chosen for study will be taken from potato tubers. Firstly I will explain what osmosis is. Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration. This definition contains three important statements: a) It is the passage of water through a semi permeable membrane
