An investigation into he effect of a range of sucrose solutions upon Potato Tissue Hypothesis As the concentration of sucrose increases, the mass of potato decreases. Apparatus 5 Test Tubes Sucrose solution of 0.0, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 Molarity 10 piece of Potato Tissue Cork Borer Scalpel Beakers Weighing Scales Method A standard sized cylinder of potato tissue is put into a beaker. Using a cork borer of a known size, in order to cut the cylinder of tissue, carries this out. This prepared cylinder has all peel tissue removed from its surface, and is cut into a standard length, using a scalpel. The mass of each cylinder of potato is weighed and recorded. One prepared cylinder of tissue is placed into each beaker, ensuring all surfaces are fully submerged beneath the bathing solutions. There are 5 beakers, each consisting of a different molarity of sucrose. The beakers contain, 0.0, this is distilled water, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 and...
