Biology Coursework Finding out the affect of different concentrations of sucrose solution on the mass of potato chips Introduction The aim of this investigation is to see when osmosis occurs in potato cells and whether anything happens to them when they are put in different concentrations of sucrose solution. I have to apply my background knowledge to devise an experiment which will tell me whether if different concentrations of water molecules in a solution will affect the mass of plant cell when they are put into it. Background knowledge Osmosis is like diffusion but only of water molecules and it only happens when there are different concentrations of water molecules on either side of a selectively permeable membrane. The selectively permeable membrane "gaps" are only small enough to let water molecules pass through and not big molecules such as sucrose molecules. Water molecules from each side of the membrane always pass to the...
