Investigation into Osmosis, in Potato Cylinder Aim: To investigate the concentration in potato cells. Prediction: To make my prediction, I am basing it on my hypothesis. I predict, that the larger amount of sucrose, the very least amount of water will remain in the cell, as there isn't enough water for osmosis. Osmosis ( a diffusion of water) will occur across a semi permeable membrane when there is a difference between the water concentrations on the two sides of the membrane. Knowing this, I water will flow through them making the cells turgid or plasmolyse if water flows out of them and all this will change the volume. Hypothesis: From the Oxford biology textbook, pages 21-23 and the encyclopaedia. This is the information I had obtained and also using the information from my preliminary test. If the concentration is great then the potato cylinder will contract by shrivelling up and...
