Osmosis Planning We have been asked to investigate the effect of osmosis on potato chips. Osmosis is the diffusion of water from a lower concentration of solute to a higher concentration of solute, through a membrane. I have chosen to investigate the effect of the water potential/concentration of solution on potato chips. This means that I will put potato chips into salt solutions of different concentrations. * The other factors involved are: * Temperature * Water potential of potato initially * SIZE of potato * Light intensity * Mass of potato dependent variable * Volume of solution potato chip is in * Type of potato * Time left in solution * Surface area of potato chip If I am to conduct a fair test, I will need to control these other factors. Completing the tests in a constant temperate environment will control the temperature. For the purpose of my experiment I am going...
