This way even if the temperature did vary there would be no risk that it would go high enough to
cause evaporation, which would affect the results because water would move through evaporation as
well as osmosis. The results show that osmosis takes place in the potato and that the rules of osmosis
are true, those rules being when water molecules diffuse from a dilute solution into a concentrate
solution through a semi permeable membrane. Also, after a certain amount of sucrose concentration,
osmosis begins to work in the opposite way. Note: Ensure that the cork borer or chipper will cut
chips or cylinders which fit into a. When the potato was dried to remove surface liquid it was not
necessarily done the same on each potato, a more accurate and uniform way of drying would
improve the accuracy further. However, to calculate percentage change from start to finish I used
this calculation. Nor does it matter if you write the definition as one sentence or three sentences. The
cytoplasm will cease to exert a pressure on the cellulose cell wall and the cell, described as flaccid,
will lack support. You will find that the egg in water will have swollen considerably. Instead of each
group testing five of their won potato slices, we shared answers. Water potential has been mentioned
in several parts of this document, but I have not explained exactly what it is or how it can be
calculated. CAUTION: Always wash your hands after touching an uncooked egg. It may. In
solutions that had no sucrose, there are high concentrations of water, especially when compared to a
potato, so water would go into the potato. The agar plate had two spots that had spread out from the
tow original holes. When I forget to water the potted plants in my study you will see their leaves
droop. However, there will be a point where the concentrations of water inside and outside the
potato cells are equal (isotonic). This way I could have found the isotonic point by there being no
change in mass. In each case there is a lot of water: there is a high concentration of water. A saline
solution is therefore considered isotonic. The potato core is likely to swell up and increase in mass.
After each set of potato slice was soaked for 25-30 minutes, we removed them from the cups and
blotted them gently on a paper towel. The tubing was then filled with strong sugar solution and the
open end was also tied shut. I will use serial dilution to obtain the molarities for each test. I will then
remove all the solutions from the test tubes as quickly as I can, (so that the chips do not carry on
changing weight, and the test is kept as fair as possible), and I will then weigh them and record the
results. Finally the solution will be considered hypotonic when the. This measurement corresponds to
the starting volume of the trapped air at one atmosphere of. After a certain amount of time, water
level on the left side of the beaker rises up while the water level on the right side drops. Control
Group and Controlled Variables: The control group included the cup that was just water, no sucrose.
We looked at three different plant tissues (Apple, Banana and Potato). This is due to osmosis, where
water passes from weak solutions to strong solutions across a semi-permeable membrane, such as a
cell membrane.
The first lab used dialysis tubes with a variety of sucrose concentrations. The potato is also trying to
make the water potential of the fluid on both sides of the semi permeable membrane the same,
(osmosis from the potato to the salt solution, from a higher water potential to a lower one). The
water will flow across the semi-permeable membrane from the potato to the solution to try to even
out the potential gradient. I repeated my results twice for each measurement so I don’t believe there
were any measurement inaccuracies. Diana Walker Potato Osmosis Lab Report Potato Osmosis Lab

cases this did not happen but it was generally only to make the experiment easier and more
understandable when reading the results. If a plant cell has a lower water potential than its
surrounding environment, and if pressure is equal to zero, is the cell hypertonic or hypotonic to its
environment. This type of membrane allows small molecules such as water to pass through it, but it
denies entry to particles, such as glucose and salt to pass. To carry out the Osmosis project we have to
measure the amount of water and solution that. The accuracy of the investigation was adequate,
however there are some improvements which could be made. This means that water can diffuse into
cells by osmosis if the cells are surrounded by a weak solution. (Osmosis is the movement of water
molecules from a high area of water potential to an area of low water potential through a partially
permeable membrane.). Results: After 24 hours, it was found that the volume of liquid inside the
dialysis tubing increased. This suggests that the experiment was fairly accurate. One egg was then
placed in a beaker of distilled water while the other was placed in a beaker of syrup. This part of the
investigation would need to be repeated. Normallly when doing dialysis one fills the tube as full as
possible so as to have the. For this experiment I am going to use the same brand throughout. The salt
erodes at the potato instead making it lighter. I will also have to measure each potato chip I use, and
make sure that they are all of the same size. We then decided it would be better to keep them in a
beaker. A solution on which the concentration of solutes is greater than that of the cell that resided.
The pressure inside the cell rises; eventually the internal pressure of the cell is so high that no more
water can enter the cell. On the graph this is where the line of best fit crosses the x axis (this axis
shows the concentration of the salt solution) at point 0.05M. If I repeated the experiment with this
concentration I will hopefully find that there would be no change in mass. Again, water crosses the
cell membrane in both directions, but this time more water leaves the cells than enter it. Procedure:
First, we were to prepare a stock solution of 1. MM sucrose. If I were to do the experiment again I
would make some changes. Also this would make the results a lot more accurate. In extreme cases
the cell membrane breaks away from the cell wall and the cell is referred to as plasmolysed. If the
potatoes had not been fresh or they had a bit of skin on this would have prevented water passing into
and out of the chips. The other end of the bag was made to hang over the edge of the beaker.
However, putting this theory into practice wasn’t easy. When I forget to water the potted plants in
my study you will see their leaves droop. I will leave this experiment and come back in 25 minutes
then take out the potato discs record. A possible factor affecting my results is that although the
cylinders were taken from the same potato there is no guaranteeing that the density remains the same
throughout the potato. To combat this I could leave the chips in a cooler environment overnight. My
insulin page will tell you more about other homeostatic mechanisms. So if you put a potato chip in a
solution which has a concentration of X. This means that I will put potato chips into salt solutions of
different concentrations. Observe what happens to the cells this may require you to search around
along the edges of the leaf. If the potatoes had not been fresh or they had a bit of skin on this would
have prevented water passing into and out of the chips. Using this information a graph and
prediction can be made: At point A the graph suggests that no osmosis has occurred, suggesting that
the concentration of water inside the cell is equal to the solution outside. Cuboids of each tissue
were cut weighed and placed into a sucrose solution. The membrane exposed by the vinegar swells
and finally ruptures. Osmosis is the movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
In some cases this did not happen but it was generally only to make the experiment easier and more
understandable when reading the results. When I have all my results in I will see how much the
potato increased or decreased in weight by looking at this I will be able to see if my prediction is
correct. It is the nature of osmosis that the identity of the. At point B (high water concentration),
there is no indication that the cell is increasing further in size. This gave the potatoes four hours and
40 minutes in the chosen liquid. You can later cut them down to size if they’re too big or too small. It
may also be interesting to investigate if the belief that keeping potatoes submerged in water is the
most effective way to keep potatoes fresh and prevent them from going off. This led to the tubing
becoming harder and less flexible. In the same concentration solution as the potato, the potato does
not seem to change where as in a lower concentration medium the potato seems to get smaller. The
picture on the far right shows the measurement taken of the glucose content of the solution within
the cell, being compared to a chart on the test strip bottle. If we think back to the original definition
and working principles of diffusion, we know that water moves from places of low solute
concentration to high solute concentration in order to achieve a relative state of equilibrium- where a
solution becomes isotonic and has no net movement of water inside or outside of the cell. Also, I
changed what the potato chips were going to be put in. In the hypothesis we said that as the sucrose
concentration increased, the mass of the potatoes would decrease and it did. Also as most of my
results are very near my curve of best fit it is acceptable to say that it is confirmation that my
prediction that as the concentration increases, the percentage increase decreases. Its leaves are purple
on the underside and the purple epidermal layer easily peels away from the rest of the leaf. In this
investigation I aim to find out how the amount of osmosis differs in potato chips in water and sucrose
solutions of differing strength.
