How does changing the concentration of sucrose solution affect the movement of water into a potato? Introduction Aim 1. To use different concentrations of sucrose solution to determine the internal concentration of the potato. 2. To use different concentrations of a solution more dilute than the internal concentration of the potato to find out what the effects of different sugar concentrations have on the movement of water into the potato. Theory Osmosis is the movement of water from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution, through a partially permeable membrane, until the concentrations are equal. Linking this to my aim, we need to find out the internal concentration of the potato so that we will know which concentration of sucrose solution will make water move into the potato, though Osmosis. Once we have done this, it is possible to increase the dilution to find out the effects that different sucrose concentration have on the movement...
