Aim: find out the best conditions to keep cut chips in over night so that they do not change in texture or turgidity: to find the concentration of solutes inside potato cells. Background Information I think that the practical will be based on Osmosis because we are using a potato to measure how much water is diffused though it's partially permeable membrane. The process of Osmosis is when water molecules diffuse from region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration across a partially permeable membrane. I know that potatoes are from plants so are therefore made up of cells which have a partially permeable membrane and water moves through in Osmosis. Also the concentration regions will be different so Osmosis will be able to take place. The factor, which will vary during this experiment, is the concentration of the solution around the potato. This is to test...
