An investigation to find the water potential of potato and carrot tubers in a sucrose solution‚ of concentration 0.00 – 0.50Mol‚ over a 24 hour period Interpretation Written Communication C1 From our graph it can be seen that the concentration of sucrose solution is 0.18 M at 0% change in mass for the potato and 0.355 M at 0% change in mass for the carrot. I will use these values to find the solute potential by using the calibration graph. I will work out the water potential by using the
Premium Concentration Osmosis Potato
Results The relative osmotic concentration was determined by measuring the percent change in mass of the potato tissues. Change in mass was measured of six solutions‚ each containing different levels of concentration (0‚ 0.1‚ 0.2‚ 0.3‚ 0.4‚ and 0.5). The percent change in mass decreased as sucrose concentration increased‚ therefore‚ relative osmotic concentration also decreased as sucrose concentration increased. However‚ the osmotic concentration of 0.2 M sucrose solution was relatively greater

Chickens farmed for meat are called broilers‚ whilst these farmed for eggs are called egg-laying hens. In total‚ UK alone consumes over 29 million eggs per day. Some hens can produce over 300 eggs a year. The majority of poultry are raised using intensive

Cell Membrane Transport The purposes for these experiments is to be able to understand osmosis and its relationship to tonicity of solutions‚ and the transportation of molecules across cell membranes. It’s also used to understand‚ and how temperature affects diffusion. You also learn how to test for presences of starches and sugars in solutions. In the first exercise I will be testing for diffusion through an artificial membranes. This one has forty five steps to it. I will not go into

occurs whenever there is a semi permeable membrane that acts as a barrier to separate two different concentrations. The higher the concentration between the solutes‚ the higher the osmotic pressure. Osmotic pressure can be classified into three tonicities‚ which are Hypotonic‚ Isotonic and Hypertonic. Hypotonic is a situation when the concentration of water in cells are more than water outside the cell‚ causing water to flow into the cell until it ruptures and plasmolyse in animal cell and plant

Purpose: To see the effects of tonicity’s on potato cells. Background: Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a differentially permeable membrane due to concentration differences. Tonicity is the concentration of solutes. The potato cell has 3% of dissolved materials. Hypertonic is when the solution has more dissolved materials outside the cell than inside. The cell will lose water this way and shrink. The potatoes in the 5% salt solution will shrink. Hypotonic is when there is less solute dissolved

Exercise 1C 1.2 GRAPH 1) Molar concentration of sucrose= percent change in mass Exercise 1D 1) If a potato core is allowed to dehydrate by sitting in the open air‚ would the water potential of the potato cells decrease or increase? As it dehydrates‚ the solutes become more concentrated so the solute potential becomes more negative and it decreases. 2) If a plant cell has a lower water potential than
