Aim: To Investigate The Effect Of The Movement Of Water By Osmosis In Plant Cells I will use potato chips as the plant cells in the experiment to show the movement of water by osmosis in and out of plant cells by measuring the mass change, of identical chips, in different concentration solutions of sucrose. Hypothesis Prediction: I predict that the higher the concentration of water surrounding the potato cells the higher the percentage increase in mass and that the lower the concentration of water surrounding the potato cells the higher the percentage decrease in mass of the potato cells. Also, I predict that, when the potato cells are placid in a concentration of water that is Isotonic to the cell vacuole contents, there will be no change in mass of the potato cells. I further predict that unless the plant cell is turgid there will be a percentage change in mass...
