Osmosis Investigation Aim: The aim of the experiment is to show how varying the concentration of sucrose solution affects osmosis by changing different molar solutions of sucrose and water and how it affects the potato. Introduction: In this investigation I will be exploring the effect of varying concentration of sucrose sugar solution on the amount of activity between the solution and the potatoes. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a high water concentration to a low water concentration. Osmosis can be effected different things such as: - Temperature - The warmer the solution, the quicker the osmosis will go. This is because the water molecules will be moving more quickly. - Difference in concentrations - This will speed up the rate of osmosis because there will be more particles that'll have to change places. - Surface Area - This will speed up the rate...
