positively affected due to the concentration balance in their environment. Potato cells were used to see the affects of sucrose in different concentrations. In some concentrations a weight change was seen in the potato. Introduction In the osmotic concentration lab potatoes were used to see the affects of different concentrations of sucrose on the weight of the potatoes. Solanum tubersummore commonly known as the potato is the fourth most important food crop in the world. It originates from South

presence of starch. When starch is presence‚ the iodine lodges itself in the helical structure of the polysaccharide chain to give it a black blue colour. 2. Dilute Iodine was dripped onto a thin slice of potato to test for the presence of starch. Dark blue colouration forms on the potato slice indicating the presence of starch. The Iodine solution traps itself in the helical structure of the polysaccharide to form dark blue colour. 3. To test for the presence of glucose‚ Benedict’s solution

permeable membrane. Therefore‚ potato cells‚ with their differentially permeable membrane‚ are selected as the medium for studying osmosis in this experiment. In this experiment‚ strips are cut from the same potato and placed in sucrose solutions with different concentrations to see if there are any changes in term of weight. Different concentration of sucrose solution is the independent variable while the volume and length of each potato strip and the amount of sucrose solution used are the control

Osmosis Lab Research Question: In this lab‚ our goal was to look at the effects of different sucrose concentrations on osmosis in potatoes. Our research question was “How do the sugar levels affect the rate of osmosis in potatoes?”. Background Information: Solutions consist of solutes dissolved in a solvent. In all living organisms there are many different types of solutes including salts and sugars. The major solvent is water. There are different concentrations of solutes in various regions

Potato Osmosis and Diffusion Lab Report Emily Cocq Research Question: Will there be a difference in the experimented potato cores after being subjected to high concentrations of sugar? Introduction: Water can move through protein channels in cell membrane/cell walls. The water will move due to the water potential of the cells. If there is a greater concentration of solutes (chemicals) inside the cell than outside the cell and the chemicals can not move‚ then water will respond by moving

No.06 Determining water potential of potato tuber cells: the weighing method If a plant cell is in equilibrium with an external solution of such a concentration that there is not net loss or gain of water‚ the water potential of the external solution will be equal to the water potential of the cell. Use of this fact can be made in estimating the water potential of a plant tissue. Samples of tissue are immersed in a range of external solutions of different strengths. The solution that induces

After the seven days of quantitative and qualitative data collection‚ the results showed that the substances individually had a significant effect on their respective plant. Furthermore‚ the original hypothesis was shown to be accurate regarding the sucrose and caffeine receiving plants‚ and inaccurate in the case of the plant receiving carbonated water. To begin with‚ it is important to note the control plant experienced unusual results‚ as the plant had a sharp decrease in the quantity of blooms. However
