Biology GCSE Coursework Investigating to find the concentration of potato cells using osmosis Introduction Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules from a low concentration (high concentration of water) to a high concentration, (low concentration of water) through a semi permeable membrane. For example2, potato cells in a sugar solution. Aim To find out the concentration of potato cells using osmosis, by putting potato cells in different amounts of sugar solution and seeing by a graph when there is no change as the concentration of the solution is the same as the potato. Factors that effect osmosis Temperature and light - The molecules will get more kinetic energy and so more osmosis will take place, and also a higher temperature would make the water evaporate, increasing the concentration of the solution Amount of solution - The larger the surface area, the more osmosis will happen Size of potato - More solution might also increase the...
