Peter Perkins 4/27/07 An Investigation Show the transfer of water and sucrose in a potato using the process of osmosis Introduction I Intend on finding out how the movement of water into and out of a potato cells by osmosis. Background Information Hypothesis Osmosis is defined as the net movement of water or any other solution¡|s molecules from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a region in which they are less concentrated. This movement must take place across a partially permeable membrane such as a cell wall, which lets smaller molecules such as water through 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 molecules are randomly distributed throughout an object, with no area having a higher or lower concentration than any other. For this particular investigation I think...
