To investigate the effect of different sucrose concentrations on potato chips Introduction Osmosis is defined as the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to low concentration. We are investigating this effect on potato chips, which are made out of many plant cells. Due to the fact that potato chips are consistent in type of cell, and are easy to work with, it makes them an ideal material for this type of experiment. When potato chips are immersed in water with a sucrose concentration, the water diffuses from the potato chip and into the stronger sugar solution. If this experiment is repeated with distilled water (has no sugar molecules) instead of the high concentration sugar water, the opposite happens and water diffuses into potato chip Aim of the investigation The aim if the investigation is to find out how different concentrations of sucrose solution affects the size,...
