An Investigation to Find the Concentration of a Potato Cell Sap Definition Osmosis is the movement of water from a weaker/more dilute solution, to a stronger/more concentrated solution through a selectively permiable membrane. We desplayed what will happen using a model cell experiment in which we subsituted visking tubing bags for cells. We placed glucose in one cell and water in the other. We then placed the cell filled with glucose in a test tube filled with water and placed the cell filled with water in a test tube filled with glucose. The results of this experiment showed that the cell filled with water lost weight and the cell filled with glucose gained weight therefore prooving the definition. Prediction I predict from a preliminary experiment that the concentration of the cell sap is 0.3 Molar. In the preliminary experiment we prepared three concentrationss: 0 Molar, 0.5 Molar and 1 Molar, and three potato chips...
