Investigation into how the concentration of sugar solution affects osmosis in a potato Planning Introduction Osmosis is the passage of water molecules from a weaker solution into a stronger solution, through a partially permeable membrane. The potato I will be using will allow water molecules to advance into it by tiny holes in the membrane; the sugar will be too large to fit through. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration through a partially permeable membrane, this means that if the water concentration is high in the potato tissue then the water will pass out of the potato back into the solution. If the water concentration is low in the potato tissue then the water molecules will pass from the solution back into the potato resulting in accumulation of the mass. Therefore, If there is very little different in the two...
