BIOLOGY COURSEWORK PREDICTION AND PLANNING Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a partially permeable membrane. It is the movement of water from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane. If a dilute solution such as water is separated from a concentrated solution such as sugar solution, by a partially permeable membrane, water diffuses across the membrane from the dilute to the concentrated solution. Diagram of Osmosis I am planning to do the investigation on the amount of sugar in the water and see how it will affect the rates of osmosis and the change in mass inside the potato tissues. I think the mass of the potatoes will decrease when the concentration of sugar is higher because when the concentration of sugar in the sugar solution is high; there will be less free water molecules in the solution and comparing to the potato, there are...
