To investigate the osmosis in the Potato rods when they are put in different Concentrations of salt solutions I. (PLANNING( My aim in this work: My aim is to find out if changing the concentrations of salt solutions will affect the osmosis in the potato rods when they are put in different concentrations of salt solutions. Introduction: Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential. It can be affected by several different variables including concentration of salt solutions. When a plant cell is put in pure water it will become turgid and it will not burst due to the presence of a cell wall and a large permanent vacuole and when it is put in a concentrated solution it will be plasmolysed, on the other hand when an animal cell is put in pure...
