Investigation into the Rate of Osmosis in Potatoes and to find out the Sucrose Concentration of the Potato. Introduction In order to carry out this investigation, I first have to define the terms of the objectives so that an understanding is present and a clear process to acquire the answer can be devised. What is Osmosis? Osmosis is the process by which water molecules pass through a partially permeable membrane from an area of high concentration of water to an area of lower concentration of water (e.g. from distilled water to concentrated sucrose solution). The reason for this is because of the natural tendency of water to spread from regions of high concentration to regions of low. This spreading process is called diffusion. Several examples of osmosis can be seen in nature that can give a better idea of what is happening during osmosis. E.g. if water is withheld from a flowering plant then...
