Investigation of osmosis in potato tissue


AIM

ยท To investigate the effects that occur by osmosis on potato tissue

Hypothesis
I believe that the higher the concentration of sugar solution, the mass of the potato decreases yet I believe that after 0.4 the mass decreases.

Scientific knowledge
A biochemical process in living cells, that occurs with the movement of water. It can be deemed as the movement of water from a high concentration to a lower concentration, the diffusion down a water potential gradient across a partially permeable membrane. This will continue until and equilibrium has been reached. A cell, in a lower water potential than its contents leaves...
