An Investigation into factors affecting Osmosis in Potato Tissue PLAN I am investigating the factors which directly affect the process of osmosis. I will be using potato tissue and sugar solutions to do this. Osmosis is the process by which water molecules move from one cell to another, in living systems, across a partially permeable membrane, from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration. A partially permeable membrane allows small molecules like water to pass through it, but does not allow larger molecules like glucose to pass through it. Aim: My aim is to investigate the effect osmosis has on the mass and length of potato tissue and to investigate what effect varying the concentration of the sucrose solution surrounding the potato tissue, has on it. I also intend on working out the isotonic point, the point where osmosis does not occur because there is...
