Finding the concentration of a Potato cell.
Aim
The aim is to find the concentration (mole/dm3 (M)) of solute in a potato cell by using the process of osmosis and different concentrations of sucrose solution.
Background information
Osmosis is diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane. It moves from a solution with less solute concentration (high water potential) to a solution with more solute concentration (low water potential). The one with a high water concentration is called a hypotonic solution …showed first 75 words of 3622 total…

…showed last 75 words of 3622 total…amp;lt;Tab/>For extension work I could change another variable like temperature of the sucrose solution to see how it affects water passing though a partially permeable membrane by osmosis. I could test much more concentrations (0.05M, etc.) and take more repeat experiments. It could be left for longer in the solution to get more net movement (if there is any) and get more curtain results over a large percentage change scale.
