Osmosis Aim The aim of the investigation is to find out the effect of changing solute concentration on osmosis in potato tissue. Prediction I predict that if the solute solution is more concentrated than the potato, the potato chip with the more water potential will lose water, so if the potato chip is placed into a dilute solute solution, the potato will gain water. Here's the example- if the original cells is 5g then and placed into a diluted solute solution the mass will raise to 7g. And if the potato chip is to be placed into a concentrated solution, the potato chip's mass will drop to around 3g. I predict this because of the process of osmosis. Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of its high concentration to a region of its concentration. Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion which involves water. The definition of osmosis is - 'the net movement...
