Osmosis Science Practical Investigation Fatimah Jilani 11. A1 Osmosis Aim: In this practical investigation I am investigating the effects of osmosis in a potato. I will place potato chips in different concentrations of salt solution and water. Introduction: I am investigating the effects of osmosis in a potato chip. Below are other factors that could be investigated: * Temperature of water. * Size of chip. * Light. * Mass of potato. * Concentration of water. As part of this Science Practical Investigation I am investigating the effects of Osmosis on potato chips. Water is the most important thing determining the growth as well as the survival of plants. Therefore water and other substances need to enter and leave the cell through the cell membrane. Particles enter and leave cells through these processes: * Diffusion * Osmosis Particles in liquids and gases have kinetic energy. This allows them to move around at different speeds in different directions. In an area of high concentration, some of these particles collide with...
