Prediction I predict that as the concentration of the sugar solution around the potato decreases, the size of the potato will increase. I have come to this conclusion due to the previous work we have done on osmosis. So, if we put a potato in a 2M concentration of sucrose it would decrease in size, whereas if we were to put it in a 1.5 M concentration it would not decrease as much in size as the one in 2M concentration. Essentially what I am saying is that as the concentration increases, so will the amount of mass lost by the potato. I feel that nearer the extremes of concentration the results will be more closely grouped. Reason Osmosis is a process in which water moves through a partially...

"Biology coursework-Osmosis. I was extremely stuck on what to write, as I was absent when the teacher explaned and didn't have time to ask time before my own coursework had to be in. This coursework inspired me and made me understand osmosis enough to do my own.Whoever wrote this well done!and thankyou!"
