Investigation of Osmosis in Potato Tuber Introduction Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a dilute solution (weak solutions) into a concentrated solution (strong solutions) through a selectively permeable membrane. In the diagram below it shows separating the two solutions, water moves through it in both directions at the same time. However more water leaves a dilute solution and passes into more concentrated solution then enters it. The water is moving in both directions Prediction I predict that the stronger the concentration of the solution the smaller the mass and length of the potato will be because the water will move out of the potato cells if the solution outside is more concentrated than the solution inside the cells of the potato. The weaker the solution is the bigger the mass and length of the potato will be. This is because water will move into the potato cells if the solution...
