What variables effect omosis in potatoes. Information about osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region where there is high concentration to where there is low concentration, this often occurs across a selectively permeable membrane. This is an area of selectively permeable cells that only allow certain substances to cross and prohibit others. The reduction in size of the chip may be due to this process. In a plant cell - if it is put into pure H2O, it will not rupture because the cell wall is fully permeable to water so therefore osmosis can not occur. Osmosis in a cell membrane - cell membranes are selectively permeable and if put into pure water it would swell because the cell wall is strong. They also do not burst but becomes turgid. If a plant cell is put into a salt solution, water moves out of the cell and so...
