Osmosis Investigation AIM: To investigate the rate of osmosis in potatoes with different concentrations of glucose. HYPOTHESIS: Osmosis is the net movement of water or any other solution's molecules from a place in which is highly concentrated to a place in which is less concentrated. This movement must take place across a particular permeable membrane such as a cell wall, which lets smaller molecules through being the water, but does not allow bigger molecules to pass through. The molecules will continue to diffuse until the area in which the molecules are found reaches a state of equilibrium, meaning that the water molecules are randomly placed throughout the potato, with no area having a higher or lower concentration than any other. PREDICTION: I predict that the pieces of potato with the weaker concentrations of glucose will weigh less at the outcome of this experiment, than the potatoes with the stronger concentrations. This is due...
