Investigating Osmosis In Potato Cells Introduction Osmosis is a form of diffusion but specifically for water, it is the diffusion of water from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution through a semi permeable membrane. In this experiment we used water because in osmosis only water molecules can be used Prediction Tubes Predictions Explanation 1 and 2 The mass and length will go up The concentration is less in the chip 3 and 4 The mass and length will stay the same The concentration is the same as in the chip 5 and 6 The mass and length will go down The concentration is more in the chip Method Apparatus * Cork borer * Scalpel * 6 boiling tubes * 6 potato chips * Distilled water * 2.8 M sucrose * Electronic scales * Ruler * Pen Firstly we cut 6 potato chips with a cork borer, and then we squared off the edges with a scalpel, so they were all the same size, so that it could be made a fair test. Next we labelled 6...
