Investigation on Osmosis using a potato. Aim The aim of the experiment is to see osmosis in potato's by changing the variable which is going to be concentration, we are going to see at what concentrations the potato gains mass, and at which concentrations the potato loses mass, and at which individual concentration does the potato not gain or loss mass at all, this will be the equilibrium. Scientific Theory Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from its region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration. In this test I have a range of choices in which I will have to choose from to prove a scientific fact. I have the options of testing with the potato to see how temperature will affect its rate of osmosis/plamolysis, and how the potato will be affected by osmosis when increasing/decreasing its surface area. But there is...
