Investigating the effects of submerging potato tissue in different concentrations of salt solution In my experiment, I am aiming to find what the effects different concentrations of salt solution have on potato tissue and also why different concentrations of salt solution effect potato tissue. Apparatus List * 1 potato * salt solution (0.60M/dm³) * stopwatch * distilled water * 2 test tube racks * 6 test tubes * measuring cylinder * cork borer (size 4) * filter paper * white tiles * cling film * knife * ruler * graduated syringe * scales * china graph pencil Here is how I set up my apparatus: Method * I took 6 test tubes. I filled 3 with 15cm³ distilled water and 3 with 15cm³ salt solution, (0.60M/dm³). I labelled each with S for the salt solution and A, B and C on each. I wrote D for the distilled water and A, B and C on each. * I cut 6 cylinders of potato using the cork borer. I chopped off each end...
