Biology Course WorkBiology Course WorkTop of Form TITLE/AIM To investigate the effect of concentration of sucrose solution on osmosis in potato tissue HYPOTHESIS The prediction for this experiment: when the potato tissue is put in concentrated sucrose solution, the vacuole and the cytoplasm of potato cell will shrink and become flaccid .A potato cell is said to be flaccid when the potato cell losses it's firmness and begin to be wilt. This is because the concentration of the sucrose solution is more than the concentration of the cytoplasm. THEORY Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecule of water through a partially permeable cell membrane from a high concentration of water to a low concentration of water until the concentration is equal. Osmosis occurs in all plant and animals ell. It is useful in many ways. For example, our body absorbs water from fluid by osmosis. The kidney retiree water and blood, this...
